getAtmoFlows: Gather all atmospheric data time series

In lerban/CityWaterBalance: Track Flows of Water Through an Urban System

Description

This function gathers precipitation, evapotranspiration and temperature data from the USGS Geo Data Portal (GDP), and calculates potential evapotranspiration. NOTE: Shapefile for geometry must already be uploaded to the GDP.

Usage

getAtmoFlows(start, end, geometry, att, val = NA, latitude)

Arguments

start	start date in format 'YYYY-MM-DD'
end	end date in format 'YYYY-MM-DD'
geometry	name of geometry as displayed in GDP
att	attribute of geometry as displayed in GDP
val	values of attribute as displayed in GDP
latitude	(degrees)

Value

xts object consisting of:

prcp	precipitation (mm)
et	evapotranspiration (mm)
tmax	max temperature (deg C)
tmin	min temperature (deg C)
pet	potential evapotranspiration (mm)

Examples

## Not run: 
atm <- getAtmoFlows('2010-01-01', '2010-12-31', 'sample:Counties', 'STATE','RI',
41.5801)

## End(Not run)
