hydro_imgw_datastore: IMGW hydrological data from the IMGW datastore repository

In climate: Interface to Download Meteorological (and Hydrological) Datasets

IMGW hydrological data from the IMGW datastore repository

Description

Downloading hourly and sub-hourly (hydrological) data from the telemetric stations available in the danepubliczne.imgw.pl/datastore collection since 2008. Most parameters are collected with 10 minutes interval and thus it is recommended to download only the mandatory years, parameters or stations. For example, 1 year of data with all available parameters requires processing around 2-4GB of uncompressed data.

Usage

hydro_imgw_datastore(
  year,
  parameters = NULL,
  stations = NULL,
  coords = TRUE,
  allow_failure = TRUE
)

Arguments

year	numeric vector of years to be downloaded (e.g., 2022:2023)
parameters	character vector describing which parameters to be downloaded. Default NULL means to download all available. "level" - Water level (operational) (cm) "level_obs" - Water level (observer) (cm) "flow" - Water flow rate (operational) (m3/s) "temp" - Water temperature (observer) (degree C)
stations	character vector with station name(s) as visible in the hydro_imgw_telemetry_stations(). Default NULL means to download data for all available stations.
coords	logical - whether to append the dataset with station full name, longitude, latitude and altitude. Default: TRUE
allow_failure	logical - whether to proceed or stop on failure. By default set to TRUE (i.e. don't stop on error). For debugging purposes change to FALSE

Details

Data from the IMGW automated (telemetry) systems are non validated by experts and may contain invalid values.

Value

data.table with a raw hydrorological measurements in 10-min or 60-min intervals. Please note that this dataset is not validated by experts and may contain invalid values.

Examples

imgw_hydro_telemetry = hydro_imgw_datastore(year = 2022,
                                            parameters = "flow",
                                            stations = "FORDON",
                                            coords = TRUE)
