Description

Generating observation data files from a data.frame

  obs_table = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  out_path = lifecycle::deprecated()
)

Value

A return logical status indicating if any error when writing files (FALSE), TRUE when no errors.

df

A data frame containing the values of the observations to use (see Details).

out_dir

usms_list

An optional list of usms names to be used for selecting which files to generate from the obs_table

obs_table

obs_table is no longer supported, use df instead.

out_path

out_path is no longer supported, use out_dir instead.

Details

df is a data.frame with the following format:

usm_name	ian	mo	jo	jul	densite	lai(n)	masec(n)	azomes
USM_2017_T1_CI	2017	9	6	249	NA	NA	0.31	27.07395
USM_2017_T1_CI	2017	9	20	263	NA	NA	0.60	27.90000
USM_2018_T1	2017	10	20	293	NA	0.1	NA	NA
USM_2018_T1	2018	5	15	482	NA	1.2	NA	NA

• usm_name column contains usms names which are used as output .obs files names

• ian, mo, jo and jul are mandatory (year, month, day and julian date)

• Other columns one per variable contain observations values or NA

@seealso get_var_info for getting variable right syntax or searching a variable name.

Examples

xl_path <- download_usm_xl(file = "inputs_stics_example.xlsx")
obs_df <- read_params_table(file = xl_path, sheet_name = "Obs")
gen_obs(df = obs_df, out_dir = "/path/to/dest/dir")
