In MacroSHEDS/macrosheds: Tools for interfacing with the MacroSheds dataset

Download macrosheds core datasets

Description

Download the macrosheds core datasets of stream chemistry, stream discharge, stream solute flux, precipitation, precipitation chemistry, precipitation solute flux, annual solute loads, ws_boundary, stream_gauge_locations, and precip_gauge_locations. Not all products are available at all sites, but all products available for the selected domains will be downloaded.

Usage

ms_download_core_data(
  macrosheds_root,
  networks,
  domains,
  version = "latest",
  skip_existing = TRUE,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

macrosheds_root	character. Directory where macrosheds data files will be downloaded. If this directory does not exist, it will be created. The macrosheds_root directory should only be used for MacroSheds data files.
networks	character vector. macrosheds networks that will be downloaded. Either a single network, vector of networks, or 'all'. Either networks or domains must be supplied. See ms_load_sites() for networks available for download.
domains	character vector. macrosheds domains that will be downloaded. Either a single domain, vector of domains, or 'all'. Either domains or networks must be supplied. See ms_load_sites() for domains available for download.
version	numeric or "latest". The MacroSheds dataset version to download.
skip_existing	logical. If FALSE, dataset components already downloaded to macrosheds_root will be overwritten. If TRUE, these will be skipped.
quiet	logical. If TRUE, some messages will be suppressed.

Details

The core time-series dataset is approximately 6 GiB uncompressed.

Value

Downloads all core data for selected domains to the directory specified by macrosheds_root. Site datasets are arranged according to the following structure: domain/prodname/site_code.feather. For definitions of these terms as used by MacroSheds, see glossary.txt on MacroSheds EDI.
