end

Documentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/noaa_weather.

Build Binary Erlang Executable

mix escript.build

Basic Run

The default airport is KARB (Ann Arbor Municipal).

The default measures are location, station_id, observation_time, weather, temperature_string, pressure_string, and wind_string

./noaa_weather

yields

+--------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| measure            | value                                      |
+--------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| location           | Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor Municipal Airport, MI |
| station_id         | KARB                                       |
| observation_time   | Last Updated on Jul 9 2021, 10:53 pm EDT   |
| weather            | Fair                                       |
| temperature_string | 56.0 F (13.3 C)                            |
| pressure_string    | 1018.6 mb                                  |
| wind_string        | Calm                                       |
+--------------------+--------------------------------------------+

To get the default weather measures from a specific airport, add the --icao-code option and an airport code, like KFLG (Flagstaff Pulliam).

./noaa_weather --icao-code KFLG

yields

+--------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| measure            | value                                   |
+--------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| location           | Flagstaff Pulliam Airport, AZ           |
| station_id         | KFLG                                    |
| observation_time   | Last Updated on Jul 9 2021, 7:57 pm MST |
| weather            | Fair                                    |
| temperature_string | 79.0 F (26.1 C)                         |
| pressure_string    | 1013.3 mb                               |
| wind_string        | Calm                                    |
+--------------------+-----------------------------------------+

To get specific weather measures, list them after the executable or the --icao-code option.

./noaa_weather location observation_time weather temperature_string

yields

+--------------------+--------------------------------------------+
| measure            | value                                      |

| temperature_string | 56.0 F (13.3 C)                            |
+--------------------+--------------------------------------------+

./noaa_weather --icao-code KFLG location observation_time weather temperature_string

yields
