R/get_inventory.R
get_inventory.RdThe NCEI maintains a document, https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/noaa/isd-inventory.txt, which lists the number of weather observations by station-year-month from the beginning of the stations' records. This function retrieves that document and prints an information header displaying the last update time with a data frame of the inventory information for each station-year-month.
get_inventory()
A data.table object of station inventories
