Get current Iowa Environmental Mesonet observations — iem

Retrieves current observations from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet (IEM).

Usage

iem_current(
  network = NULL,
  networkclass = NULL,
  wfo = NULL,
  country = NULL,
  state = NULL,
  stations = NULL,
  minutes = NULL
)

Arguments

network: Optional single IEM network identifier, such as "IA_ASOS".
networkclass: Optional single network class, such as "ASOS" or "COOP".
wfo: Optional single National Weather Service forecast office identifier, such as "DMX".
country: Optional single country identifier, such as "US".
state: Optional single state identifier, such as "IA".
stations: Optional character vector of station identifiers.
minutes: Optional whole number giving the maximum observation age in minutes.

Value

A tibble containing current station metadata and observations returned by IEM, with station identifiers in station_id. Units and available variables vary by network.

Details

At least one filter must be supplied. Station identifiers may be shared across networks, so a station-only request can return multiple rows for a single identifier. Use network with stations when you need one network.
