get_USdata: Compute intermittency statistics for US gauging stations
In NaiaraLopezRojo/globalIRmap: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Description Usage Arguments Details Value

Download original daily data from the USGS National Water Information System for U.S. stations and compute intermittency statistics.

1	get_USdata(in_ids, maxyear, verbose = F)

`in_ids`	(character vector) unique USGS identifiers for gauging stations (e.g., "05540130")
`maxyear`	(integer) maximum year to include in computation of intermittency statistics
`verbose`	whether to print the `in_ids`

This function is implemented in analyzemerge_gaugeir to compare intermittency statistics obtained directly from USGS data compared to those obtained from GSIM. This was implemented because it appears that GSIM rounded discharge data to two decimals when converting cubic feet to cubic meters per second. Therefore, any discharge alue < 0.005 was considered zero.
