Description

  maxLong = NULL, minElev = NULL, maxElev = NULL, minDate = NULL, 
  maxDate = NULL, countries = NULL, states = NULL, types = NULL, 
  projects = NULL, fields = NULL, tmpdir = tempdir(), clean = TRUE)

minLong

numeric. Minimum longitude for query region, in decimal degrees. West negative.

maxLong

numeric. Maximum longitude for query region, in decimal degrees. West negative.

minElev

numeric. Minimum elevation for query. Meters.

maxElev

numeric. Maximum elevation for query. Meters.

minDate

character. Minimum date for query. Format: "YYYY-MM-DD"

maxDate

character. Maximum date for query. Format: "YYYY-MM-DD"

countries

character. Vector of one or more two-letter country codes for query.

states

clean

logical. Remove working files after data object is unpacked?

Details

One or more arguments must be provided.

Value

named list. See here for details.

data

dataframe. Data records for isotope samples returned by query.

projects

dataframe. Provenance information associated with samples returned by query.

Note that some data are embargoed or have been shared under a license that prohibits redistribution. In dataframe data values of 9999 indicate that a measurement is available but can't be obtained directly from the wiDB. Project information in projects can be used to contact or visit the primary data source to learn about access to these data. Values of -9999 in data indicate no measurement.

Examples

#Download data for US precipitation in the 1990s
vals = wiDB_data(minDate = "1990-01-01", maxDate = "2000-01-01", 
  countries = "US", types = "Precipitation")

#Download data for US Rivers and streams, requesting a subset of data fields
vals = wiDB_data(minDate = "1980-01-01", maxDate = "2000-01-01", 
  countries = "US", types = "River_or_stream", 
  fields = "Site_Name,Latitude,Longitude,d2H")
