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').  The data were retired
        on 2025-08-29 and are no longer updated. 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,
        <https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/gsod/readme.txt>.
