readformatGSIMmon: Read and pre-format GSIM monthly data
In NaiaraLopezRojo/globalIRmap: What the Package Does (One Line, Title Case)

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Source

Reads text file of monthly discharge indices for a single GSIM station. Creates columns for year, month, and season (to join with seasonal indices) Estimate the minimum possible number of monthly zero-flow days based on indices

1	readformatGSIMmon(path)

path

(character) path to the text file of monthly discharge data in standard GSIM format (.mon file).

compute yearly number of days of missing data

the monthly minimum number of zero flow days n0 is estimated as follows:
1. If MAX == 0, then n0 = n.available 2. else if MIN7 == 0, then n0 = 7 3. else if MIN == 0, then n0 = 1, 4. else n0 = 0
