nhdplusTools (version 1.3.2)

add_plus_network_attributes: Add NHDPlus Network Attributes to a provided network.

Description

Given a river network with required base attributes, adds the NHDPlus network attributes: hydrosequence, levelpath, terminalpath, pathlength, down levelpath, down hydroseq, total drainage area, and terminalflag. The function implements two parallelization schemes for small and large basins respectively. If a number of cores is specified, parallel execution will be used.

Usage

add_plus_network_attributes(
  net,
  override = 5,
  cores = NULL,
  split_temp = NULL,
  status = TRUE
)

Value

data.frame with added attributes

Arguments

net

data.frame containing comid, tocomid, nameID, lengthkm, and areasqkm. Additional attributes will be passed through unchanged. tocomid == 0 is the convention used for outlets. If a "weight" column is provided, it will be used in get_levelpaths otherwise, arbolate sum is calculated for the network and used as the weight.

override

numeric factor to be passed to get_levelpaths

cores

integer number of processes to spawn if run in parallel.

split_temp

character path to optional temporary copy of the network split into independent sub-networks. If it exists, it will be read from disk rather than recreated.

status

logical should progress be printed?

Examples

source(system.file("extdata", "walker_data.R", package = "nhdplusTools"))

test_flowline <- prepare_nhdplus(walker_flowline, 0, 0, FALSE)

test_flowline <- data.frame(
  comid = test_flowline$COMID,
  tocomid = test_flowline$toCOMID,
  nameID = walker_flowline$GNIS_ID,
  lengthkm = test_flowline$LENGTHKM,
  areasqkm = walker_flowline$AreaSqKM)

add_plus_network_attributes(test_flowline)
