FindUsgsStns: Discover USGS stations using huc8 code or lat/lon/radius.

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

Description

FindUsgsStns wraps dataRetrieval::whatNWISsites with common options for finding USGS gauges. See the dataRetrieval package for more deails on what else could be passed or how this could be modified. One improvement here would be to order results by proximity to supplied lat/lon and filter to nClosest.

Usage

FindUsgsStns(stnLon = NULL, stnLat = NULL, within = NULL,
  huc8 = NULL, siteType = "ST", hasDataTypeCd = "iv")

Arguments

stnLon	optional
stnLat	optional
within	optional, goes with stnLon and stnLat and specifies a search radius in decimal degrees.
huc8	optional EIGHT digit HUC code.
siteType	the type of USGS site to look for.
hasDataTypeCd	the kind of data of interest (iv=instantaneous, dv=daily, etc.)
