A challenge with using a daily average wind speed for wind roses is you end up with a direction that is not realistic. Bonney is a great example. The two dominant wind directions are NE and SW (and these switch daily). As a result, your daily wind rose is from the SE (which doesn't reflect a real wind direction). Example below:

To correct this, a mode wind direction might make more sense if you want to stick with daily data.

• App pulls air temperature heights from EDI entity column names.
• RH is sometimes measured at multiple heights.

Should be summarized as max(wspdmax) and min(wspdmin).

Since this plot type is an aggregation and not interactive, the timescale is irrelevant.

E.g., m^2 should be m²
E.g., W/m^2 should be W m^-2

Additionally, remove units from plotly titles, as listing the units in the y-axis suffices.

Sensor was moved from 2m to 3m in the middle of the time series. Merge for easier viewing and historical comparison.

Data were only provided for one season and the data format is not app-friendly. So, the app shows it as an option at CAAM, but there aren't any data to display.

In app.R, add code in section "# Update choices when a new met station is selected" to address a bug that occurs when a user has selected a particular parameter suite, e.g., EXEM RADN, then selects a new station that does not have this parameter suite, e.g., FRSM. When this occurs, the app crashes with the following error: Warning: Error in : '../data/FRSM/FRSM_RADN/FRSM_RADN.csv' does not exist in current working directory...

Add: Source code is available on GitHub.

Only one season of netrad data from BRHM and CAAM, and should be excluded. Although a full record exists at FRSM, it should be excluded from the app for simplicity, which means that RADN should be excluded from FRSM, since no other solar radiation data are measured at this site.
