Weather Data Conversion To XML
=====================
# Introduction
The NOAA has hosted DAILY GLOBAL HISTORICAL CLIMATOLOGY NETWORK (GHCN-DAILY)
.dat files. Weather.gov has an RSS/XML feed that gives current weather sensor
readings. Using the RSS feed as a template, the GHCN-DAILY historical
information is used to generate past RSS feed XML documents. The process allows
testing on a large set of information with out having to continually monitor
the weather.gov site for all the weather details for years.
# Detailed Description
Detailed GHDN-DAILY information:
The process takes a save folder for the data. The folder contains a several
folders:
- all_xml_files (The generated xml files for a given package)
- downloads (All files taken from the NOAA HTTP site)
- dataset-[name] (all files related to a single dataset)
