Returns a curated table of the most commonly used NCEI datasets. No network call is made.
Value
A data frame with columns:
- dataset
Character. Dataset identifier for use with
noaa_get().- description
Character. Brief description.
- frequency
Character. Temporal resolution.
- requires
Character. Arguments the API requires, or
"".
Details
The requires column records constraints the API enforces: some datasets
reject requests that carry no date window, and global-marine is
organised by area rather than by station, so it requires a bounding box.
