Create a cfStation object containing station information for one or
more CliFlo stations.
Details
A cfStation object is created by the constructor function
cf_station. The unique agent numbers of the stations are all that is
required to create a cfStation object using the cf_station
function. The rest of the station information including the name, network and
agent ID, start and end dates, coordinates, as well as other data is scraped
from CliFlo.
This function is used for when the agent numbers are already known. For help
creating cfStation objects when the agent numbers are unknown see the
cf_find_station function.
See also
cf_find_station for creating cfStation objects
when the agent numbers are not known and vignette("cfStation")
for working with clifro stations including spatial plotting in R. For saving
cfStation objects as KML files refer to the vignette or
cf_save_kml.
Examples
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Create a cfStation object for the Leigh 1 and 2 Ews stations
leigh.st = cf_station(1339, 1340)
leigh.st
# Note, this can also be achieved using the '+' operator
leigh.st = cf_station(1339) + cf_station(1340)
leigh.st
# Add another column showing how long the stations have been open for
leigh.df = as(leigh.st, "data.frame")
leigh.df$ndays = with(leigh.df, round(end - start))
leigh.df
# Save the stations to the current working directory as a KML to visualise
# the station locations
cf_save_kml(leigh.st)
} # }
