Provides functions to interface with Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) data, fetching data and returning a tidy data frame of précis forecasts, current weather data from stations, ag information bulletins, historical weather data or a
raster::stack() object of satellite imagery from GeoTIFF files.
Credit for the name, bomrang, goes to Di Cook, who suggested it while attending the rOpenSci AUUnconf in Brisbane, 2016, upon seeing the vignette that we had assembled during the Unconf.
Install the stable release from CRAN.

}
devtools::install_github("ropensci/bomrang")Several functions are provided by bomrang to retrieve Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) data. A family of functions retrieve weather data and return tidy data frames; get_precis_forecast(), which retrieves the précis (short) forecast; get_current_weather(), which fetches the current weather from a given station; get_ag_bulletin(), which retrieves the agriculture bulletin; get_weather_bulletin(), which retrieves the BOM 0900 or 1500 bulletins; and get_historical(), which retrieves historical daily observations for a given station. A second group of functions retrieve information pertaining to satellite imagery, get_available_imagery() and the imagery itself, get_satellite_imagery().
Returns the latest 72 hours weather observations for a station.
This function accepts four arguments:
-
station_name, The name of the weather station. Fuzzy string matching viabase::agrepis done. -
latlon, A length-2 numeric vector. When given instead of station_name, the nearest station (in this package) is used, with a message indicating the nearest such station. (See alsosweep_for_stations().) Ignored if used in combination withstation_name, with a warning. -
raw, Logical. Do not convert the columns data.table to the appropriate classes. (FALSE by default.) -
emit_latlon_msg, Logical. IfTRUE(the default), andlatlonis selected, a message is emitted before the table is returned indicating which station was actually used (i.e. which station was found to be nearest to the given coordinate).
The function, get_current_weather() will return a tidy data frame of the current and past 72 hours observations for the requested station. For a complete listing of the fields in the data frame see Appendix 1, Output from get_current_weather() in the bomrang vignette.
Following is an example fetching the current weather for Melbourne.

get_historical() takes either of two arguments: stationid and latlon, as
well as a type of observation ("rain", "min" (temperature), "max"
(temperature), or "solar"), returning the historical daily weather
observations of that type for the given location.
If latlon is used, the observations returned are from the station nearest to
that latitude-longitude coordinate. latlon values are entered as decimal
degrees, e.g. -34, 151 for Sydney. The function also emits a message, to
tell the user which station was used.
The table returned may have different fields depending on the station that is
selected. The time period over which observations are available will be highly
dependent on the station requested. Some stations may only have a decade or less
of data (e.g. max temperature at 070351 (CANBERRA AIRPORT) has ~3,700+
observations back to 2008) while others may have very extensive records (e.g.
rainfall at ADELAIDE (WEST TERRACE / NGAYIRDAPIRA) has ~65,000+ observations
back to 1839, three years after the city was founded.)
Following is an example fetching the historical daily temperature minimum observations for the station closest to 35.2809°S, 149.1300°E (Canberra)
Canberra_mintemps <- get_historical(latlon = c(-35.2809, 149.1300),

bomrang provides two functions to check and retrieve satellite imagery from
BOM, get_available_imagery() and get_satellite_imagery().
The function get_available_imagery() only takes one argument, product_id, a
BOM identifier for the imagery that you wish to check for available imagery.
Using this function will fetch a listing of BOM GeoTIFF satellite imagery from
ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/gms/ to display which files are currently
available for download. These files are available at ten minute update frequency
with a 24 hour delete time. This function can be used see the most recent files
available and then specify in the get_satellite_imagery() function. If no
valid Product ID is supplied, defaults to all GeoTIFF images currently
available.

get_satellite_imagery() fetches BOM satellite GeoTIFF imagery, returning a raster stack object and takes three arguments. Files are available at ten minute update frequency with a 24 hour delete time. It is suggested to check file availability first by using get_available_imagery(). The arguments are:
-
product_id, a character value of the BOM product ID to download. Alternatively, a vector of values fromget_available_imagery()may be used here. This argument is mandatory. -
scansa numeric value for the number of scans to download, starting with the most recent and progressing backwards, e.g.,1- the most recent single scan available ,6- the most recent hour available,12- the most recent 2 hours available, etc. Negating will return the oldest files first. Defaults to 1. This argument is optional. -
cachea logical value that indicates whether or not to store image files locally for later use? IfFALSE, the downloaded files are removed when R session is closed. To take advantage of cached files in future sessions, setTRUE. Defaults toFALSE. This argument is optional. Cached files may be managed with themanage_bomrang_cache()function.
# Use `avail` from prior and download only most recent scan
imagery <- get_satellite_imagery(product_id = avail, scans = 1)
# load the raster library to work with the GeoTIFF files
library(raster)## Loading required package: sp
