Get, Set, or Check content of the Directory with the MERRA2 database Subset

Source: R/options.R

merra2 is a subset of MERRA2 database with global

get_merra2 returns the current filepath to the MERRA2 data subset;

set_merra2 is used to set the directory of the database;

check_merra2 checks the content of the merra2 directory, and lists data-files.

get_merra2_dir()

set_merra2_options(merra2.dir = NULL, pwatts.api.key = NULL)

check_merra2(
  path = get_merra2_dir(),
  detailed = FALSE,
  verbose = getOption("merra2.verbose")
)

merra2_info()

Arguments

path

A character string of the path (default "~/data/merra2_subset")

detailed

logical, if a list of files should be returned.

Value

get_merra2 returns a character string or NULL if the directory is not set.

set_merra2 returns the currently set directory before the change, invisibly.

check_merra2 returns number or list of data-files in the merra2 directory.
