Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Read .pro files from SNOWPACK model output

1	snowprofilePro(Filename, ProfileDate = NA, tz = "UTC")

`Filename`	path to pro file
`ProfileDate`	read a single profile from file (default = NA will read all profiles)
`tz`	time zone (default = 'UTC')

Several SNOWPACK model output formats exist see SNOWPACK documentation

Definitions of PRO files are provided at https://models.slf.ch/docserver/snowpack/html/pro_format.html and an example file is available at niViz

PRO files typically contain profiles from the same station at multiple time steps. If a specific ProfileDate is provided a single snowprofile object is returned (search available dates with scanProfileDates), otherwise all profiles are read and a list of snowprofile objects is returned.

## Path to example pro file
Filename <- system.file('extdata', 'example.pro', package = 'sarp.snowprofile')

## Download example pro file from niViz
#Filename <- tempfile(fileext = '.pro')
#download.file('https://niviz.org/resources/example.pro', Filename)

## Scan dates in file
Dates <- scanProfileDates(Filename)
print(Dates)

## Read a single profile by date and plot
ProfileDate <- Dates[3]
Profile <- snowprofilePro(Filename, ProfileDate = ProfileDate)
plot(Profile)

## Read entire time series and plot
Profiles <- snowprofilePro(Filename)
plot(Profiles, main = 'Timeseries read from example.pro')
