Functions to work with Wiski raingauge-data

The data

• There is one excel file which lists all the information about the 66 individual stations. It contains information about the easting, the northing, the temporal resolution (5 or 10 minutes)...

• Then There is the actual rainfall data which is stores in .csv-files with the name of the station in each filename

Antholz_Obertal.txt
Auer.txt
Bozen.txt
Branzoll.txt
Brixen_Vahrn.txt
Bruneck.txt
Corvara_im_Gadertal.txt
Deutschnofen.txt
Eisack_Sterzing.txt
Eyrs_Laas.txt
Gantkofel.txt
Gargazon.txt
Grasstein.txt
Hintermartell.txt
...

Get the station-names

• You can get the station-names from the files. This will return a dataframe with two columns. One being the actual name from the file, the other is the name of the station in the excel file

# get the station naames of the files
station_names_files = read_rainfall(only.names = T)

• We can also get the station-names from the excel file by calling:

station_names_xl = get_station_information()[["name"]]

This will return the same names as in the second column of the returned dataframe of station_names_files

Get the rainfall for one station

• If you only are interested in the rainfall for one station you can use the function read_rainfall and specify the name of the station. It must only match more or less. If it does not match 100 % it will provide a suggestion

station = "bozn"
rain = read_rainfall(station=station)
# Did you meant: Bozen[Yy|Nn] 
head(rain)
