Rnoaa4cast

The Rnoaa4cast is an R package that helps you to download and process NOAA weather forecasts for use in ecological forecasting.

It can be used to:

• Obtain NOAA Global Ensemble Forecast System (GEFS) for regions or point locations.
• Obtain NOAA Climate (Coupled) Forecast System (CFS) forecasts.
• Extract points from regional forecasts.
• Temporally downscale forecasts to hourly timescales.
• Spatially downscale (debias) gridded forecasts to more accurately match specific point locations.
• Convert forecasts from their raw formats, that may span thousands of files, to compact netCDF versions.
