#' Raw Data Import for USGS NWIS QW Data #' #' Imports data from NWIS web service. This function gets the data from here: \url{http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/qwdata} #' A list of parameter codes can be found here: \url{http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/pmcodes/} #' A list of statistic codes can be found here: \url{http://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/help/?read_file=stat&format=table} #' #' @param siteNumbers character of USGS site numbers. This is usually an 8 digit number #' @param pCodes character of USGS parameter code(s). This is usually an 5 digit number. #' @param startDate character starting date for data retrieval in the form YYYY-MM-DD. Default is "" which indicates #' retrieval for the earliest possible record. #' @param endDate character ending date for data retrieval in the form YYYY-MM-DD. Default is "" which indicates #' retrieval for the latest possible record. #' @param expanded logical defaults to TRUE. If TRUE, retrieves additional information. Expanded data includes #' remark_cd (remark code), result_va (result value), val_qual_tx (result value qualifier code), meth_cd (method code), #' dqi_cd (data-quality indicator code), rpt_lev_va (reporting level), and rpt_lev_cd (reporting level type). #' @param reshape logical. Will reshape the data if TRUE (default) #' @param tz character to set timezone attribute of datetime. Default is an empty quote, which converts the #' datetimes to UTC (properly accounting for daylight savings times based on the data's provided tz_cd column). #' Possible values to provide are "America/New_York","America/Chicago", "America/Denver","America/Los_Angeles", #' "America/Anchorage","America/Honolulu","America/Jamaica","America/Managua","America/Phoenix", and "America/Metlakatla" #' @keywords data import USGS web service #' @return A data frame with the following columns: #' \tabular{lll}{ #' Name \tab Type \tab Description \cr #' agency_cd \tab character \tab The NWIS code for the agency reporting the data\cr #' site_no \tab character \tab The USGS site number \cr #' datetime \tab POSIXct \tab The date and time of the value converted to UTC (if asDateTime = TRUE), \cr #' \tab character \tab or raw character string (if asDateTime = FALSE) \cr #' tz_cd \tab character \tab The time zone code for datetime \cr #' code \tab character \tab Any codes that qualify the corresponding value\cr #' value \tab numeric \tab The numeric value for the parameter \cr #' } #' #' There are also several useful attributes attached to the data frame: #' \tabular{lll}{ #' Name \tab Type \tab Description \cr #' url \tab character \tab The url used to generate the data \cr #' queryTime \tab POSIXct \tab The time the data was returned \cr #' comment \tab character \tab Header comments from the RDB file \cr #' } #' @export #' @import reshape2 #' @seealso \code{\link{readWQPdata}}, \code{\link{whatWQPsites}}, #' \code{\link{readWQPqw}}, \code{\link{constructNWISURL}} #' @examples #' siteNumbers <- c('04024430','04024000') #' startDate <- '2010-01-01' #' endDate <- '' #' pCodes <- c('34247','30234','32104','34220') #' #' rawNWISqwData <- readNWISqw(siteNumbers,pCodes,startDate,endDate) #' rawNWISqwDataReshaped <- readNWISqw(siteNumbers,pCodes, #' startDate,endDate,reshape=TRUE) #' readNWISqw <- function (siteNumbers,pCodes,startDate="",endDate="", expanded=TRUE,reshape=FALSE,tz=""){ url <- constructNWISURL(siteNumbers,pCodes,startDate,endDate,"qw",expanded=expanded) data <- importRDB1(url,asDateTime=TRUE, qw=TRUE, tz = tz) originalHeader <- comment(data) if(reshape & expanded){ columnsToMelt <- c("agency_cd","site_no","sample_dt","sample_tm", "sample_end_dt","sample_end_tm","sample_start_time_datum_cd","tm_datum_rlbty_cd", "parm_cd","startDateTime","endDateTime") columnsToMelt <- columnsToMelt[columnsToMelt %in% names(data)] longDF <- melt(data, columnsToMelt) wideDF <- dcast(longDF, ... ~ variable + parm_cd ) wideDF[,grep("_va_",names(wideDF))] <- sapply(wideDF[,grep("_va_",names(wideDF))], function(x) as.numeric(x)) groupByPCode <- as.vector(sapply(pCodes, function(x) grep(x, names(wideDF)) )) data <- wideDF[,c(1:length(columnsToMelt)-1,groupByPCode)] comment(data) <- originalHeader } siteInfo <- readNWISsite(siteNumbers) varInfo <- readNWISpCode(pCodes) attr(data, "siteInfo") <- siteInfo attr(data, "variableInfo") <- varInfo attr(data, "statisticInfo") <- NULL return (data) }
