met {oce} | R Documentation

## Sample met Object

### Description

This is sample `met` object containing data for Halifax, Nova Scotia, during September of 2003 (the period during which Hurricane Juan struck the city).

### Details

The data file was downloaded with

    metFile <- download.met(id=6358, year=2003, month=9, destdir=".")
    met <- read.met(metFile)
    met <- oceSetData(met, "time", met[["time"]]+4*3600,
                     note="add 4h to local time to get UTC time")

Using `download.met` avoids having to navigate the the awkward Environment Canada website, but it imposes the burden of having to know the station number. See the documentation for `download.met` for more details on station numbers.
