tidyhydat (version 0.3.2)

hy_sed_monthly_loads: Extract monthly flows information from the HYDAT database

Description

Tidy data of monthly loads information from the SED_DLY_LOADS HYDAT table. station_number and prov_terr_state_loc can both be supplied. If both are omitted all values from the hy_stations table are returned. That is a large vector for hy_sed_monthly_loads.

Usage

hy_sed_monthly_loads(station_number = NULL, hydat_path = NULL,
  prov_terr_state_loc = NULL, start_date = "ALL", end_date = "ALL")

Arguments

station_number

A seven digit Water Survey of Canada station number. If this argument is omitted, the value of prov_terr_state_loc is returned.

hydat_path

The default for this argument is to look for hydat in the same location where it was saved by using download_hydat. Therefore this argument is almost always omitted from a function call. You can see where hydat was downloaded using hy_dir()

prov_terr_state_loc

Province, state or territory. If this argument is omitted, the value of station_number is returned. See unique(allstations$prov_terr_state_loc)

start_date

Leave blank if all dates are required. Date format needs to be in YYYY-MM-DD. Date is inclusive.

end_date

Leave blank if all dates are required. Date format needs to be in YYYY-MM-DD. Date is inclusive.

Value

A tibble of monthly sediment loads.

Format

A tibble with 8 variables:

STATION_NUMBER

YEAR

MONTH

FULL_MONTH

Logical value is there is full record from MONTH

NO_DAYS
