Overview

About

Maintained by Steven MosherCRAN page ↗Website ↗

The Rghcn package provides the core functions required to download and format the GHCN V3 data and process it into temperature series and temperature anomaly series. The data is reformated so that integration with objects in the system is straightforward. In addition, there are core functions required to download and create land masks and functions to download and import Sea Surface Temperature (SST) data.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/RghcnV3/RghcnV3_2.9.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "RghcnV3_2.9.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (2.9) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
