 This vignette shows how to read weather data for the month of January 2017 from the [weather station](https://cals-mac.arizona.edu/weather-station) at the University of Arizona's [Maricopa Agricultural Center](http://cals-mac.arizona.edu/) into R. 
 These data are stored online on the data management system Clowder, which is accessed using an API. 
-More detailed information about the structure of the database and how API URLs are created is available in the [weather tutorial]("sensors/01-meteorological-data.Rmd"). 
+More detailed information about the structure of the database and how API URLs are created is available in the [weather tutorial](sensors/01-meteorological-data.Rmd).
 Data across time for one weather variable, temperature, is plotted in R. 
 Then all eight of the weather variables have their times series plotted.
