rnoaa
Client for many ‘NOAA’ data sources including the ‘NCDC’ climate ‘API’ at <https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/cdo-web/webservices/v2>, with functions for each of the ‘API’ ‘endpoints’: data, data categories, data sets, data types, locations, location categories, and stations. In addition, we have an interface for ‘NOAA’ sea ice data, the ‘NOAA’ severe weather inventory, ‘NOAA’ Historical Observing ‘Metadata’ Repository (‘HOMR’) data, ‘NOAA’ storm data via ‘IBTrACS’, tornado data via the ‘NOAA’ storm prediction center, and more.

rnoaa is an R interface to many NOAA data sources. We don’t cover all of them, but we include many commonly used sources, and add we are always adding new sources. We focus on easy to use interfaces for getting NOAA data, and giving back data in easy to use formats downstream. We currently don’t do much in the way of plots or analysis. To get started see: https://docs.ropensci.org/rnoaa/articles/rnoaa.html
