Retrieves station metadata for one IEM network or one station identifier.

Usage

iem_stations(network)

iem_station(station_id)

Arguments

network: A single IEM network identifier, such as "IA_ASOS".
station_id: A single station identifier, such as "DSM".

Value

A tibble containing station metadata returned by IEM, including station identifiers in station_id, names in station_name, network identifiers, time zones, archive dates, and longitude and latitude when available.

Details

iem_stations() returns all stations in one network. iem_station() looks up one station identifier across IEM networks, which is useful because some identifiers are shared by more than one network.
