This is a handler function to be used with US National Ice Center charts from https://usicecenter.gov/Products/AntarcHome. This function is not intended to be called directly, but rather is specified as a method option in bowerbird::bb_source().
Arguments
- ...
: parameters passed to
bowerbird::bb_rget()
Details
Note that the USNIC server does not support timestamp operations on requests, so it is not possible to download only files that have changed since last downloaded. Bowerbird configurations with clobber = 1 (download if modified) are likely to download all files, even if those files exist locally and have not changed since last download. Consider using clobber = 0 (don't download if file already exists).
This handler can take a method argument as specified in the bowerbird::bb_source() constructor:
chart_type string: either "filled" (default) or "vector"
