getCoords_DBHYDRO: Retrieve station coordinates from DBHYDRO

In troyhill/SFNRC: APIs and Tools for Processing Data from DataForEver and DBHYDRO

Retrieve station coordinates from DBHYDRO

Description

Downloads DBHYDRO station coordinate data. Note that these coordinates may be incorrect in DBHYDRO (e.g., LASPALM12 appears right next to LPG1, when in reality it is ~500 meters north).

Usage

getCoords_DBHYDRO(stn = "LASPALM11", spatial = TRUE)

Arguments

stn	character string. Case sensitive.
spatial	logical. If 'TRUE', a spatialPointsDataFrame is returned. If 'FALSE', a dataframe is returned

Value

dataframe/spdf getCoords_DBHYDRO returns a dataframe or spatialPointsDataFrame with lat/long (epsg:4326) and UTM zone 19 coordinates.
