This function is for requesting AGDD point values. Because the NPN has a separate data service that can provide AGDD values which is more accurate than Geoserver this function is ideal when requested AGDD point values.
npn_get_agdd_point_data(layer, lat, long, date, store_data = TRUE)
Returns a numeric value of the AGDD value at the specified
lat/long/date. If no value can be retrieved, then -9999
is returned.
As this function only works for AGDD point values, if it's necessary to
retrieve point values for other layers please try the npn_get_point_data()
function.
