Interfacing the geoinformation platform of the Swiss Confederation which provides access to meteorological observations
of the Swiss national weather service and adjacent providers.
This package is based on the swissgeo.core and specifically tailored to easily
retrieve automated observations from weather stations and towers.
For those interested in accessing other datasets beyond what
msdata provides please check out
swissgeo.core.
Note that there is a package gsdata
to retrieve automated weather station data from the Austrian weather service
(Geosphere) working very similar to this package.
This package is available on codeberg as well as on R-universe.
install.packages("msdata", repos = "https://retostauffer.r-universe.dev")
This will automatically resolve reverse dependencies. Note that
swissgeo.core
also depends on the sf package which may
need additional libraries to be installed on your system (geos, proj4).
For details please read the installation instructions on
