met2model.GDAY.RdFunction to convert NetCDF met files in PEcAn-CF format into GDAY met driver files. This function is an R wrapper to the python script "generate_forcing_data.py" in the inst/ folder. The python script supports arguments to generate sub-daily (30 min) weather data as well as soil temperature from 6 day running mean. These arguments are hard-coded in this function to generate daily GDAY files without soil temperature.

| in.path | location on disk where inputs are stored |
|---|---|
| in.prefix | prefix of input and output files |
| outfolder | location on disk where outputs will be stored |
| start_date | the start date of the data to be downloaded (will only use the year part of the date) |
| end_date | the end date of the data to be downloaded (will only use the year part of the date) |
