Generate GLM ready met files from the Open-Meteo ensemble API

Usage

create_met_files_openmet(
  config,
  lake_directory,
  met_forecast_start_datetime,
  met_start_datetime,
  include_wind_direction = FALSE,
  out_dir_fn = NULL
)

Arguments

config: list of FLARE configurations
lake_directory: directory of lake configurations
met_forecast_start_datetime: start datetime of met forecasts
met_start_datetime: start datetime of met simulation
include_wind_direction: Logical (default FALSE); when TRUE, adds a WindDir column to each output CSV using Open-Meteo's wind_direction_10m variable.
out_dir_fn: Optional function of the ensemble positional index (integer, 1-based) returning the directory path for that member's met file. When non-NULL each file is written to out_dir_fn(i); the returned filenames reflect those locations. When NULL (default) files are written to config$file_path$execute_directory.

Value

list; vector of full path for the converted files

Details

Downloads a live ensemble weather forecast from the Open-Meteo ensemble API (https://open-meteo.com/en/docs/ensemble-api) using the ropenmeteo package and writes one GLM-formatted meteorology CSV per ensemble member. Only the ensemble-forecast API is supported (no seasonal/historical/climate modes, no S3-archived alternative to the live API call). The pivot/rename step intentionally reimplements (rather than calls) ropenmeteo::write_glm_format() so files land directly in FLAREr's per-ensemble-member directory/filename layout and so include_wind_direction is supported (write_glm_format()'s own column selection always drops wind direction).
