Description

This function pulls the list of stations (and related metadata), falling within a given bounding box, from the CEH National River Flow Archive website.

Usage

GetStationSummary(lonMin = -10, lonMax = 10, latMin = 48, latMax = 62,
  metadataColumn = NULL, entryValue = NULL, minRec = NULL)

Arguments

lonMin

Minimum latitude of bounding box

lonMax

Maximum latitude of bounding box

latMin

Minimum longitude of bounding box

latMax

Maximum longitude of bounding box

metadataColumn

name of column to filter

entryValue

string to search in metadataColumn#'

minRec

minimum number of recording years

Value

• data.frame with list of stations and related metadata

Details

coordinates of bounding box are required in WGS84 (EPSG: 4326). If BB coordinates are missing, the function returns the list corresponding to the maximum extent of the network.

Examples

x <- GetStationSummary() # this returns all the stations in the network
x <- GetStationSummary(lonMin=-1, lonMax=1, latMin=49, latMax=51) # this returns 31 stations
