I have three columns in my raw data: date, time, and dry bulb temperature:

The date format is %Y%m%d and the time format is %H:%M. Any ideas on how to read it in such that it looks at the first two columns and then merges it
into one column combining both the date and time?

I'm reasonably optimistic that read.zoo will do that. It's capable of two column datetime reads. My memory is that you just give the column numbers to the index.column argument. You will also need to give a format argument since your formats to not look to be bog standard.
