RNRCS (version 0.2.5)

grabNRCS.data: grabNRCS.data

Description

A data downloading tool for NRCS networks. Data retrieval is limited by the speed of the connection, if timeout errors persist break requested time periods down into smaller chunks, or use a faster connection.

Usage

grabNRCS.data(network, site_id, timescale, DayBgn, DayEnd)

Arguments

network

The network of the NRCS/AWDB site of interest. Currently only works for options: 'SCAN','SNTL','SNTLT', and 'OTHER'.

site_id

The NRCS site ID. Use grabNRCS.meta to retrieve a list of available sites in a specified network. Consider using the package 'metScanR' to locate sites.

timescale

Specify the desired timescale of the data. Typically 'hourly', 'daily', or 'monthly'

DayBgn

Specify the beginning date (as YYYY-MM-DD ) for the returned data.

DayEnd

Specify the end date (as YYYY-MM-DD ) for the returned data.
