Description: Provides automated downloading, parsing, cleaning, unit conversion
    and formatting of Global Surface Summary of the Day ('GSOD') weather data
    from the from the USA National Centers for Environmental Information
    ('NCEI').  Units are converted from from United States Customary System
    ('USCS') units to International System of Units ('SI').  Stations may be
    individually checked for number of missing days defined by the user, where
    stations with too many missing observations are omitted.  Only stations with
    valid reported latitude and longitude values are permitted in the final
    data.  Additional useful elements, saturation vapour pressure ('es'), actual
    vapour pressure ('ea') and relative humidity ('RH') are calculated from the
    original data using the improved August-Roche-Magnus approximation (Alduchov
    & Eskridge 1996) and included in the final data set.  The resulting metadata
    include station identification information, country, state, latitude,
    longitude, elevation, weather observations and associated flags.  For
    information on the 'GSOD' data from 'NCEI', please see the 'GSOD'
    'readme.txt' file available from,
    <http://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/gsod/readme.txt>.
