In NCAR/rwrfhydro: R tools for the WRF Hydro Model

Description

SaveHucData take a list returned by GetUsgsHucData, create or append to an existing archive, and update metadata file. Input list is grouped by HUC codes where each HUC has data and meta lists. The output files are written to outPath with the following format HHHHHHHH.data.RData where HHHHHHHH is the HUC8 code. The name of the metadata file is configurable. The metadata file contains metadata for all files in the outPath.

Usage

SaveHucData(hucData, outPath,
  metaDBFileName = "usgsDataRetrieval.metaDatabase.RData",
  overwriteHucDataFile = FALSE)

Arguments

hucData	List Returned from GetUsgsHucData.
outPath	Character The path to the database directory
metaDBFileName	Character The name of the database metadata file.
overwriteHucDataFile	Logical Replace/overwrite the existing data file for the HUC with the current data.
