Today I published .NET CLI application that is able to download NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis 1 variables into a single NetCDF file. It accesses NOAA ftp and downloads variable data year by year, then merge the the files into a single one with Dmitrov library.

RFc package: FetchClimate Client for R
Today my RFc package was accepted and published on CRAN.
With this package you can right now fetch the following environmental parameters
- absolute air humidity
- air temperature
- elevation
- diurnal temperature rate
- frost days frequency
- wed days frequency
- potential evapotranspiration
- precipitation rate
- relative humidity
- soil moisture
- sunshine fraction
- water vapour pressure
- wind speed
The parameters above can be fetched for the point set of for the geo grid specified.
The original service providing data is collaborative project of Microsoft Research Cambridge and Information Technologies in Science lab where I currently work.
Background radiation level and elevation
Today I check whether the background radiation level correlates with the elevation from sea surface.
I show that the correlation between background radiation level and elevation is about 0.03 (uSv/h per km) and this slope explains only 3% of radiation level variation.
