Data are sourced from the Western Australia Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development (DPIRD), the Scientific Information for Land Owners (SILO) API, the Norwegian Meteorological Institute and the Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology’s (BOM) FTP server. The package queries the APIs or an FTP server and returns data as a data frame or radar and satellite imagery in your R session. Observation data from DPIRD’s weather station network are available via the Weather 2.0 Open API initiative. SILO data is available from Queensland’s Long Paddock initiative (Jeffery et al. 2001) and are spatially and temporally complete, covering all Australia and few nearby islands (112 to 154 degrees longitude, -10 to -44 degrees latitude), with resolution 0.05° longitude by 0.05° latitude (approximately 5 km × 5 km). Visit the SILO website for more details about how the data is prepared and which climate data are available. Forecast data with up to 9 days ahead are available from the MET Weather API Locationforecast endpoint for any location in Australia. Agriculture bulletins, radar imagery, satellite imagery and seven-day forecasts are available from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) via an anonymous FTP server. Access to DPIRD API requires an API key.
