This function retrieves the 7-Day NFDRS (fuels) forecast for a user-specified list of RAWS stations.
{folder_modified} = Current Working Directory
Required Arguments:
1) station_ids (Integer List) - An integer list of all the RAWS IDs for each RAWS station the user wants in the dataset.
Optional Arguments:
1) fuel_model (String) - Default = ‘Y’. The fuel model being used.
Fuel Models List:
Y - Timber
X - Brush
W - Grass/Shrub
V - Grass
Z - Slash
2) clear_recycle_bin (Boolean) - Default=False. When set to True, the contents in your recycle/trash bin will be deleted with each run of the program you are calling WxData. This setting is to help preserve memory on the machine.
3) path (String) - Default=f’{folder_modified}/FEMS Data/Multi Station/NFDRS Forecasts’. The directory the data will be saved to.
4) proxies (dict or None) - Default=None. If the user is using proxy server(s), the user must change the following:
proxies=None ---> proxies={
'http':'http://your-proxy-address:port',
'https':'http://your-proxy-address:port'
}
5) clear_data (Boolean) - Default=True. When set to True, the data directory clears out and new data is downloaded.
6) meta_path (String) - Default=f’{folder_modified}/FEMS Data/Station Meta Data’. The path to where the RAWS station meta data excel file will be saved to.
7) sheet_name (String) - The name of the sheet in the excel file to be converted into a pandas.DataFrame.
Returns
1) A Pandas DataFrame of 7-Day NFDRS (fuels) forecast data for a user-specified list of RAWS stations.
2) A Pandas DataFrame of the RAWS Station Meta-Data.
