rvn_res_read {RavenR}

Read in Raven ReservoirStages file

Description

Reads in the ReservoirStages.csv file produced by Raven.

Usage

rvn_res_read(ff = NA, tzone = "UTC")

Arguments

ff

full file path to the ReservoirStages.csv file

tzone

string indicating the timezone of the data in ff

Details

Expects a full file path to the ReservoirStages.csv file, then reads in the file using read.csv. The main advantage of this function is renaming the columns to nicer names and extracting the units into something much easier to read.

This function is also built to support the rvn_res_extract function, which uses the object created here for extracting by reference to the columns named here, for example sub24.

ff is the full file path of the ReservoirStages.csv file. If the file is located in the current working directory, then simply the name of the file is sufficient.

The timezone is provided by the tzone argument as "UTC" by default, and should be adjusted by the user to the local time zone as needed, based on the model run.

Value

res

data frame from the file with standardized names
