rvn_exhaustive_mb_read: Read in Raven Exhaustive Mass Balance file

Description

rvn_exhaustive_mb_read is used to read in the ExhaustiveMassBalance.csv file produced by the modelling Framework Raven.

Usage

rvn_exhaustive_mb_read(ff = NA, join_categories = TRUE, tzone = NULL)

Value

exhaustivemb

data frame from the file with standardized names

units

vector corresponding to units of each column

categories

vector corresponding to the storage category of each column

Arguments

ff

full file path to the ExhaustiveMassBalance.csv file

join_categories

boolean whether add to the category tag as a column name prefix in exhaustivemb output (default TRUE)

tzone

string indicating the timezone of the data in ff

Details

Expects a full file path to the ExhaustiveMassBalance.csv file, then reads in the file using read.csv. The main advantage of this function is renaming the columns to nicer names and extracting the units into something that is much easier to read.

ff is the full file path of the ExhaustiveMassBalance.csv file. If the file is located in the current working directory, then simply the name of the file is sufficient.

tzone is a string indicating the timezone of the supplied file. The timezone provided is coded into the resulting data frame using the as.POSIXct function. If no timezone is provided, this is left as an empty string, and is determined by the function as the current time zone.
