Extract monthly flows information from the HYDAT database

Source: R/hy_sed_monthly_suscon.R
hy_sed_monthly_suscon.Rd

Tidy data of monthly suspended sediment concentration information from the SED_DLY_SUSCON 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_suscon.

Usage

hy_sed_monthly_suscon(
  station_number = NULL,
  hydat_path = NULL,
  prov_terr_state_loc = NULL,
  start_date = NULL,
  end_date = NULL
)

Format

A tibble with 8 variables:

STATION_NUMBER

Unique 7 digit Water Survey of Canada station number

Year

Year of record.

Month

Numeric month value

Full_Month

Logical value is there is full record from Month

No_days

Number of days in that month

Sum_stat

Summary statistic being used.

Value

Value of the measurement in mg/l.

Date_occurred

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

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_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 suspended sediment concentrations.
