PlantMeteo

Overview

PlantMeteo is for everything related to meteorological/climatic data related to plant growth.

The package gives users access to useful and efficient structures, functions for reading and computing data and easy connection to weather APIs:

• TimeStepTable to define efficient tables
• Atmosphere to automatically compute atmosphere-related variables from a set of variables
• Constants that provide default values for physical constants (e.g. the universal gas constant or the latent heat of vaporization of water)
• helper functions such as vapor_pressure, e_sat, air_density, psychrometer_constant or latent_heat_vaporization
• easy download of weather data from renowned APIs such as open-meteo.com with OpenMeteo
• and a framework to easily add more APIs thanks to get_weather

Installation

To install the package, enter the Julia package manager mode by pressing ] in the REPL, and execute the following command:

add PlantMeteo

To use the package, execute this command from the Julia REPL:

Make it yours

The package is developed so anyone can easily integrate it into workflows and packages. For example TimeStepTable can be used for any type of data. See the implementation of TimeStepTable{Status} in PlantSimEngine.jl.
