hydroscoper
is an R interface to the Greek National Data Bank for Hydrological and Meteorological Information, Hydroscope. For more details checkout the package’s website and the vignettes:
hydroscoper
with details about the Hydroscope project and the package.hydroscoper
’s data sets with a simple example of how to use the package’s internal data sets.Install the stable release from CRAN with:
install.packages("hydroscoper")
You can install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ropensci/hydroscoper")
The functions that are provided by hydroscoper
are:
get_stations, get_timeseries, ..., etc.
family functions, to retrieve tibbles with Hydroscope’s data for a given data source.get_data
, to retrieve a tibble with time series’ values.hydro_coords
, to convert Hydroscope’s points’ raw format to a tibble.hydro_translate
to translate various terms and names from Greek to English.The data sets that are provided by hydroscoper
are:
stations
a tibble with stations’ data from Hydroscope.timeseries
a tibble with time series’ data from Hydroscope.greece_borders
a tibble with the borders of Greece.This is a minimal example which shows how to get the station’s 200200 precipitation time series 56 from the kyy sub-domain.
Load libraries and get data:
library(hydroscoper)
library(tibble)
library(ggplot2)
ts_raw <- get_data(subdomain = "kyy", time_id = 56)
ts_raw
Let’s create a plot:
ggplot(data = ts_raw, aes(x = date, y = value))+
geom_line()+
labs(title= "30 min precipitation for station 200200",
x="Date", y = "Rain height (mm)")+
theme_classic()
