This application gives the possibility to explore the impressive amount of weather stations data available through the ECA&D (European Climate Assessment & Dataset) project.

The application, based on Shiny, can be run locally using R or accessed at the following URL: https://mdefelice.shinyapps.io/ECAD-data-browser/.

This repository includes also a R script (create_database.R) that creates a data frame with all the stations metadata extracted from the Source and Stations files available on the project's website. To create the data frame, follow these steps:

1. Put all the needed txt files in the folder data (the directory contains a README describing where to download the files)
2. Run the script (you need R with tidyverse and lubridate packages)

At the end, you will have the data structure stored in a serialised R object that can be visualised through the Shiny application (the files can also be loaded with the base::readRDS and readr::read_rds functions).
