nasapower: NASA POWER Global Meteorology, Surface Solar Energy and Climatology Data Client
International users of APSIM can now enjoy easy access to APSIM metrological files (.met files) from NASA POWER via a new R package developed by USQ’s Associate Professor of Field Crops Pathology Dr Adam Sparks called nasapower now available on CRAN. One of the functions in this new package takes the NASA POWER agroclimatology data and reformats it into an APSIM .met file for use in APSIM simulations. Information and documentation for the new package can be found at https://ropensci.github.io/nasapower/.
