Get validation data object for further analysis

getData(obsFile, simFiles, locations, simOrigins = rep("0000-12-30",
  length(simFiles)), simVars = rep("OUT_DISCHARGE", length(simFiles)),
  simSkips = rep(0, length(simFiles)), obsOrigin = "1806-01-01",
  obsVar = "dis", attVars = "all")

`obsFile`	Path to the observation file.
`simFiles`	Path to the simulation file(s). This can also be an empty vector.
`locations`	List of station locations containing lon/lat values in a vector.
`simOrigins`	Date origin of the simulation(s). A value per simulation file is required. Defaults to VIC origin.
`simVars`	Variable name of the simulation(s) to retreive. A value per simulation file is required. Defaults to VIC discharge variable.
`simSkips`	Number of months to skip for the simulation(s). A value per simulation file is required. Defaults to 0.
`obsOrigin`	Date origin of the observations.
`obsVar`	Variable name of the observations to retreive.
`attVars`	Variable name of attribute(s) to retrieve. If "all" is used, all attributes are retrieved. A variable is recognized as an attribute if it has only lon & lat dimensions (characters can have three dimensions to form strings).

An object containing values for nloc, nsim, ntime, time, observations, simulations and the requested attributes

obsFile = system.file("data", "obsSampleRhine.nc", package = "dischargeValidation", mustWork = T)
simFiles = system.file("data", "simSampleRhine.nc", package = "dischargeValidation", mustWork = T)
locations = getLocationsFromBoundingBox(obsFile = obsFile, boundingBox = c(6.75,10.25,47.75,51.25))

data = getData(obsFile = obsFile, simFiles = simFiles, location = locations[1:4])
