Query dbkey information

Description

Retrieve a data.frame summary including dbkeys or a vector of dbkeys corresponding to specified parameters

Usage

get_dbkey(
  category,
  stationid = NA,
  param = NA,
  freq = NA,
  longest = FALSE,
  stat = NA,
  recorder = NA,
  agency = NA,
  strata = NA,
  detail.level = "summary",
  ...
)

Arguments

category

character string, choice of "WEATHER", "SW", "GW", or "WQ"

stationid

character string specifying station name

param

character string specifying desired parameter name

freq

character string specifying collection frequency (daily = "DA")

longest

logical limit results to the longest period-of-record?

stat

character string specifying statistic type

recorder

character string specifying recorder information

agency

character string specifying collector agency

strata

numeric vector of length 2 specifying a range of z-coordinates relative to local ground elevation. Only applicable for queries in the "WEATHER" and "GW" categories.

detail.level

character string specifying the level of detail to return. Choices are "full", "summary", and "dbkey".

...

Options passed as named parameters

Details

A dbkey represents a unique station x variable time-series. A value in the "Recorder" field of "PREF" should be used whenever possible. This indicates that the dataset has been checked by the SFWMD modelling group.

# query on multiple values
get_dbkey(stationid = c("MBTS", "JBTS"), category = "WEATHER",
param = "WNDS", freq = "DA", detail.level = "dbkey")


# Surfacewater
