The National Climate Database contains data collected from around
6,500 weather stations throughout New Zealand, providing a necessary
repository for any study involving New Zealand’s weather or climate.
Although data from this database can be accessed via a web portal (CliFlo),
the vast amount of information is not readily consumable. The clifro
R package provides the necessary functions to easily integrate the
National Climate Database with R, and provides a variety of elegant plotting
methods for data exploration. Also, by supplying functions to access the
database via CliFlo programmatically, clifro allows for transparent and
reproducible research when using these data.
