msu_weather.pro
topmsu_weather
result = msu_weather(month, year)
get weather station data from the Shaw lab weather station at MSU http://www.coe.montana.edu/ee/weather and parse it into a structure for analysis
- extremely limited error checking so be careful - at some point the station added com calulated fields of num_den and such use for times after that - requires sswidl (solarsoft)
Return value
structure array with n_elements = number of measurements and tags: DATE STRING '01/01/2007' TIME STRING '00:05' ADJ_PRESS_MB FLOAT 1021.00 ADJ_PRESS_INHG FLOAT 30.1501 ABS_PRESS_MB FLOAT 850.000 ABS_PRESS_INHG FLOAT 25.1005 TEMP_C FLOAT -7.42000 TEMP_F FLOAT 18.6440 REL_HUM FLOAT 81.7000 DEWPOINT_C FLOAT -10.0287 DEWPOINT_F FLOAT 13.9483 PART_PRESS_ATM FLOAT 0.00282139 NUM_DEN DOUBLE 7.7945600e+16 MASS_DEN FLOAT 2.58869 JD DOUBLE 2453916.5 where jd is julian day
Parameters
- month in required
1-12 month of the year
- year in required
year to get data
