stage_indy_site: Generate a list of files to post as a custom ('indy') site

In USGS-R/mda.streams: Data Preparation, Access, and Analysis Functions for the Powell Center Continental Stream Metabolism Project

Generate a list of files to post as a custom ('indy') site

Description

This function is designed for truly isolated (non-NWIS, etc.) sites. The site that is created will be named 'indy_[site_num]', where 'indy' is a recognized prefix in mda.streams. If an NWIS gage is available, even if some data is not from NWIS, the site should be established as an 'nwis' site (see post_site) as for other NWIS sites; this will enable lookups of other NWIS data and metadata for the site.

Usage

stage_indy_site(site_num, data, info = as.character(NA),
  long_name = as.character(NA), lat = u(as.numeric(NA), "degN"),
  lon = u(as.numeric(NA), "degE"), alt = u(as.numeric(NA), "ft"),
  var_format = c("mda.streams", "streamMetabolizer"), remove_NAs = TRUE,
  collapse_const = TRUE, version = c("rds", "tsv"), folder = tempdir())

Arguments

site_num	The id, not necessarily numeric that is to follow 'indy_' in the site_name
data	data.frame of data to parse and post
info	character string describing the primary source of data for this site
long_name	Longer character string describing the site, or blank if site_name is prefixed with 'nwis' (in which case this will be looked up)
lat	latitude in degN
lon	longitude in degE
alt	altitude in ft
var_format	What format are the data column names in - mda.streams format (e.g., sitetime, doobs, dosat) or streamMetabolizer format (e.g., solar.time. DO.obs, DO.sat)?
remove_NAs	logical. Should ts rows with NAs be removed?
collapse_const	If a data column has all identical values, should these be collapsed to a single const row in the ts file?
version	the output version for the file (rds, tsv)
folder	the folder in which to save the staged information
