<DIV>Were you able to load the rNOMADS fix from about two weeks ago? I
have not been able to get it to work? Below is the code I used and the
error message.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT
color=#0000ff>install.packages("C:/Ballooning/WeatherBriefing/rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz",type="source")</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Installing package into ‘C:/Users/Owner/Documents/R/win-library/4.0’</DIV>
<DIV>(as ‘lib’ is unspecified)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Warning in install.packages :</DIV>
<DIV> package ‘C:/Ballooning/WeatherBriefing/rNOMADS_2.5.0.tar.gz’ is not
available (for R version 4.0.2)</DIV>
<DIV>******************************************************************************************************************************</DIV>
<DIV>I get the same error message when I back off to R version 3.6.3. I
have even tried to unzip the folder and load it that way without success.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have two questions. First, are you using Windows or Linux?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second, can you send the the code that worked for you? I keep
wondering if I doing something wrong. Several colleagues, not rNOMADS
users, have made suggestions like adding type=”source” but I keep hitting a
brick wall.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are interested, I‘m trying to correlate low level winds from the
Rapid Refresh Forecasts to longitude, latitude, and speed data from a phone ap
that tracks hot air balloon flights. Attached is a flight my wife made in
Mesquite Nevada. By changing altitude, color coded, she tracked back and
forth across I-15 six times in an hour. We joke that the FAA serial number
on my father-in-law’s balloon was N-1132R. And the R stands for
ridicules. We don’t go anywhere...we really don’t accomplish
anything. But it’s kind of a Zen thing. Controlling the balloon by
finding the right wind is such a hoot.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
