Description

Usage

rvn_watershed_read(ff = NA, tzone = "UTC")

Value

watershed_storage

data frame from the file with standardized names

units

vector corresponding to units of each column

Arguments

ff

full file path to the WatershedStorage.csv file

tzone

string indicating the timezone of the data in ff

Details

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

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

The timezone is provided by the tzone argument as "UTC" by default, and should be adjusted by the user to the local time zone as needed, based on the model run.
