**worldmet** provides an easy way to access data from the [NOAA Integrated Surface Database](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/integrated-surface-database) (ISD). The ISD contains detailed surface meteorological data from around the world for over 35,000 locations. See also the [map](https://gis.ncdc.noaa.gov/maps/ncei). The package outputs (typically hourly meteorological data) work very well with the [**openair**](https://github.com/openair-project/openair) package.



*Part of the openair toolkit*

## 💡 Core Features

**worldmet** has a small handful of core functionality.

- **Access ISD metadata** using `getMeta()`.

- **Import ISD monitoring data** using `importNOAA()`, with options to improve performance with parallel processing. Data is in a format ready to use with, for example, `openair::windRose()`.

- **Write files in ADMS format** using `exportADMS()`.









## 📖 Documentation

All **worldmet** functions are fully documented; access documentation using R in your IDE of choice.

```r

?worldmet::importNOAA

```

Documentation is also hosted online on the **package website**.

A guide to the openair toolkit can be found in the **online book**, which contains lots of code snippets, demonstrations of functionality, and ideas for the application of **openair**'s various functions.
