`emyweather` is an R package that contains climatic data from the [Greek National Meteorological Service](http://emy.gr), as well as a number of useful other related data sets. The climatic data come from 21 weather stations, with a time step of 3 hours and the time period is from 1975 to 2004. For more details checkout the package's [website](https://kvantas.github.io/emyweather/).
## Installation
You can install emyweather from github with:
```{r gh_installation, eval = FALSE}
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("kvantas/emyweather")
```
## Using emyweather
This package is comprised of three data sets:
* `emy_data`: climatic measurements
* `emy_stations`: weather stations' coordinates and elevation
* `borders`: borders of Greece
### `emy_data`
The variables in this data set are:
| Variable | Description |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
|date |The observation's date |
|station_id |Greek National Meteorological Service station ID |
|pressure |Pressure, in hPa |
|dry_temp |Dry temperature, in degree Celsius |
|wet_temp |Wet temperature, in degree Celsius |
|max_temp |Maximum temperature, in degree Celsius |
|min_temp |Minimum temperature, in degree Celsius |
|rel_humidity |Relative humidity, in percent |
|wind_direction |Wind direction, in degrees |
|wind_force_knot |Wind force, in knots |
|visibility |Visibility, in km |
|total_cloud_amount |Total cloud amount, in values 0 to 9 |
|precipitation |Precipitation height, in mm |
Please note that these time series are not checked for consistency or errors.
### `emy_stations`
The stations' data are taken from the Greek National Data Bank for Hydrological and Meteorological Information, [Hydroscope](http://www.hydroscope.gr/) using the package [`hydroscoper`](https://github.com/ropensci/hydroscoper/blob/master/vignettes/intro_hydroscoper.Rmd). The variables are:
| Variable | Description |
|---------------|---------------------------------------------------|
| name |The station's name |
| station_id |Greek National Meteorological Service station ID |
| hydroscope_id |The station's ID from kyy.hydroscope.gr database |
| water_division|The station's Water Division |
| longitude |The station's longitude in decimal degrees, ETRS89 |
| latitude |The station's latitude in decimal degrees, ETRS89 |
| altitude |The station's altitude, meters above sea level |
### `borders`
The borders of Greece are taken from Geoadata.gov.gr. The variables are created using the function `tidy` from the [`broom`](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/broom/index.html) package for use with `geom_polygon` from [`ggplot2`](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ggplot2/).
