read_obs_convert.Rd![[Deprecated]](figures/lifecycle-deprecated.svg)
This function was deprecated as read_obs is much more flexible.
Usage
read_obs_convert(
start_date,
end_date,
by = "3h",
obs_path = ".",
obs_format = "vobs",
obsfile_template = "vobs",
parameter = NULL,
sqlite_path = NULL,
sqlite_template = "obstable",
return_data = FALSE,
iterations_per_write = 24,
sqlite_synchronous = c("off", "normal", "full", "extra"),
sqlite_journal_mode = c("delete", "truncate", "persist", "memory", "wal", "off"),

)Arguments
- start_date
Date of the first observations to be read in. Should be in YYYYMMDDhh format. Can be numeric or charcter.
- end_date
Date of the last observations to be read in. Should be in YYYYMMDDhh format. Can be numeric or charcter.
- by
The time between observations. Should be a string of a number followed by a letter (the defualt is "6h"), where the letter gives the units - may be d for days, h for hours or m for minutes.
- obs_path
The path for the input observation files. obs_path will, in most cases, form part of the file template.
- obs_format
The format of the input observation files. Currently only "vobs".
- obsfile_template
The template for the observation files. Currently only "vobs".
- parameter
Not used for vobs.
- sqlite_path
If not NULL, sqlite files are generated and written to the directory specified here.
- sqlite_template
The template for the sqlite observations file. The default is "obstable", which is "sqlite_path/OBSTABLE_YYYY.sqlite".
- return_data
Whether to return the data to the calling environment. The default is FALSE.
- iterations_per_write
The number of iterations of "by" before each write to the sqlite file. The default is 24.
- sqlite_synchronous
The synchronus setting for sqlite files. The defualt is "off", but could also be "normal", "full", or "extra". See https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_synchronous for more information.
- sqlite_journal_mode
The journal mode for the sqlite files. The default is "delete", but can also be "truncate", "persist", "memory", "wal", or "off". See https://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html#pragma_journal_mode for more information.
