meteo_tidy_ghcnd_element: Restructure element of ghcnd_search list

Description

This function restructures the output of ghcnd_search() to add a column giving the variable name (key) and change the name of the variable column to value. These changes facilitate combining all elements from the list created by ghcnd_search(), to create a tidy dataframe of the weather observations from the station.

Usage

meteo_tidy_ghcnd_element(x, keep_flags = FALSE)

Value

A dataframe reformatted to allow easy aggregation of all weather variables for a single monitor.

Arguments

x

A dataframe with daily observations for a single monitor for a single weather variable. This dataframe is one of the elements returned by ghcnd_search()

keep_flags

TRUE / FALSE for whether the user would like to keep all the flags for each weather variable. The default is to not keep the flags (FALSE). See the note below for more information on these flags.
