Hydrologic Data Retrieval and Analysis and Anomaly Calculation
Description
Retrieval, analysis, and anomaly calculation of daily hydrologic time deries data.
Details
This package imports U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) daily hydrologic data from USGS web services, plots the data, addresses some common data problems, and calculates and plots anomalies. For a description of anomalies see Vecchia (2003), and for examples of the application of streamflow anomalies in trend analysis of nutrients, pesticides and surface water, see Alexander and Smith (2006), Ryberg and Vecchia (2006), Ryberg and others (2010), Sullivan and others (2009), Vecchia (2005), and Vecchia and others (2008).
