Download a time series of significant wave height next to the coast of Finistère:
data <- get_parameters(node = "134865", parameters = "hs")
str(data)
#> tibble [8,760 × 2] (S3: tbl_df/tbl/data.frame)
#> $ time: POSIXct[1:8760], format: "1994-01-01 00:00:00" "1994-01-01 01:00:00" ...
#> $ hs : num [1:8760] 4.82 4.98 5.19 5.37 5.48 ...
#> - attr(*, "node")= num 134864
if (!is.null(data)) plot(data, type = "l")
