This application gives the possibility to explore the impressive amount of weather stations data available through the ECA&D (European Climate Assessment & Dataset) project.
The application, based on Shiny, can be run locally using R or accessed at the following URL: https://mdefelice.shinyapps.io/ECAD-data-browser/.
This repository includes also a R script (create_database.R) that creates a data frame with all the stations metadata extracted from the Source and Stations files available on the project's website. To create the data frame, follow these steps:
- Put all the needed txt files in the folder
data(the directory contains aREADMEdescribing where to download the files) - Run the script (you need R with
tidyverseandlubridatepackages)
At the end, you will have the data structure stored in a serialised R object that can be visualised through the Shiny application (the files can also be loaded with the base::readRDS and readr::read_rds functions).
