GetUsgsHucData: Get all the USGS streamgage information within a HUC8.

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

Description

GetUsgsHucData gets all the USGS streamgage information within a HUC8. If an output path is supplied, an existing database is examined for existing records and the data retrieved from the USGS only extends the available and is saved in the data base. Could eventually use startDate and endDate to tweak this for calls which dont care about archival.

Usage

GetUsgsHucData(huc8, outPath = NULL,
  metaDBFileName = "usgsDataRetrieval.metaDatabase.RData",
  update = FALSE)

Arguments

huc8	Character The eight-digit HUC code.
outPath	Character The path to the database directory
metaDBFileName	Character The name of the database metadata file.
update	Logical, If huc exists on disk, update it byt getting new data from NWIS?
