About jmastats
A Japan Meteorological Agency client whose real product is keeping its bundled datasets current.
jmastats pulls weather and climate data from the Japan Meteorological Agency into R, and most of its releases exist to refresh the station and reference datasets it ships. Three of the four versions on record are dataset updates, dated by the month they were cut. The exception is 0.3.0, which taught jma_collect() to retrieve climatological normals derived from past observations.
