synopR 0.2.2

• CRAN release
• The argument “wmo_identifier” from show_synop_data() is now optional.
• Column “Sea_level_pressure” from show_synop_data() has been changed to “MSLP_GH” as geopotential heights for the pressure levels 850, 700 and 500 hPa are now supported
• Tests with ~ 4000 SYNOP messages from Argentina resulted in improvement of internal functions, which now can better handle potential errors

synopR 0.2.0

• Found out some SYNOP downloaded from Ogimet end with “==” instead of “=”, now parse_ogimet() can fix it. Also, show_synop_data() and `check_synop() are now aware of this.
• Added new argument to show_synop_data() named remove_empty_cols which precisely removes empty columns.
• The argument wmo_identifier from show_synop_data() can be either an integer or a string.
• show_synop_data() generates two novel columns: ‘Wind_speed_unit’ and ‘Relative_humidity’ (Magnus-Tetens Equation).
• Official WMO Tables for conversion in the form of vectors are available.
• Fixed a bug related with an internal function returning NULL when a string with a “=” character is included in the input, instead of removing it.
• A more clear documentation.
