Extract annual statistics information from the HYDAT database

Provides wrapper to turn the ANNUAL_STATISTICS table in HYDAT into a tidy data frame of annual statistics. Statistics provided include MEAN, MAX and MIN on an annual basis.

Usage

hy_annual_stats(
  station_number = NULL,
  hydat_path = NULL,
  prov_terr_state_loc = NULL,
  start_year = "ALL",
  end_year = "ALL"
)

Format

A tibble with 8 variables:

STATION_NUMBER

Unique 7 digit Water Survey of Canada station number

Parameter

Parameter being measured. Only possible values are FLOW and LEVEL

Year

Year of record.

Sum_stat

Summary statistic being used.

Value

Value of the measurement. If Parameter equals FLOW the units are m^3/s. If Parameter equals LEVEL the units are metres.

Date

Observation date. Formatted as a Date class. MEAN is a annual summary and therefore has an NA value for Date.

Symbol

Measurement/river conditions

Source

HYDAT

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 path to the hydat database or NULL to use the default location used by download_hydat. It is also possible to pass in an existing src_sqlite such that the database only needs to be opened once per user-level call.

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). Will also accept CA to return only Canadian stations.

start_year

First year of the returned record

end_year

Last year of the returned record

Value

A tibble of hy_annual_stats.
