met2model.GDAY

Function to convert NetCDF met files in PEcAn-CF format into GDAY met driver files. This function is an R wrapper to the python script "generate_forcing_data.py" in the inst/ folder. The python script supports arguments to generate sub-daily (30 min) weather data as well as soil temperature from 6 day running mean. These arguments are hard-coded in this function to generate daily GDAY files without soil temperature.
