add_cumulative_yield.Rd
Add a column of rolling daily cumulative water yields on an annual basis to a daily streamflow data set. Adds the
water yields from each day with the previous day(s) for each year, in units of millimetres. Converts cumulative
discharge to a depth of water based on the upstream drainage basin area from basin_area
argument. The cumulative flows
restart every year and are only calculated in years with complete data.

data,
dates = Date,
values = Value,
groups = STATION_NUMBER,
station_number,
basin_area,
water_year_start = 1,
months = 1:12
)
Data frame of daily data that contains columns of dates, flow values, and (optional) groups (e.g. station numbers).
Leave blank or set to NULL
if using station_number
argument.
Name of column in data
that contains dates formatted YYYY-MM-DD. Only required if dates column name is not
'Date' (default). Leave blank or set to NULL
if using station_number
argument.
Name of column in data
that contains numeric flow values, in units of cubic metres per second.
Only required if values column name is not 'Value' (default). Leave blank if using station_number
argument.
Name of column in data
that contains unique identifiers for different data sets, if applicable. Only required
if groups column name is not 'STATION_NUMBER'. Function will automatically group by a column named 'STATION_NUMBER' if
present. Remove the 'STATION_NUMBER' column beforehand to remove this grouping. Leave blank if using station_number
argument.
Character string vector of seven digit Water Survey of Canada station numbers (e.g. "08NM116"
) of
which to extract daily streamflow data from a HYDAT database. Requires tidyhydat
package and a HYDAT database.
Leave blank if using data
argument.
Upstream drainage basin area, in square kilometres, to apply to observations. Three options:
(1) Leave blank if groups
is STATION_NUMBER with HYDAT station numbers to extract basin areas from HYDAT.
(2) A single numeric value to apply to all observations.
(3) List each basin area for each group/station in groups (can override HYDAT value if listed) as such c("08NM116" = 795,
"08NM242" = 10)
. If group is not listed the HYDAT area will be applied if it exists, otherwise it will be NA
.
Numeric value indicating the month (1
through 12
) of the start of water year for
analysis. Default 1
.
Numeric vector of months to add cumulative flows. For example, 3
for March, 6:8
for Jun-Aug or
c(10:12,1)
for first four months (Oct-Jan) when water_year_start = 10
(Oct). Default summarizes all
months (1:12
).
A tibble data frame of the source data with an additional column:
cumulative yield flows for each day for each year, in units of millimetres
# Run if HYDAT database has been downloaded (using tidyhydat::download_hydat())
if (file.exists(tidyhydat::hy_downloaded_db())) {
# Add a column based on water years starting in August
add_cumulative_yield(station_number = "08NM116",
water_year_start = 8)
# Add a column based on water years starting in August with a custom basin area to calculate yield
add_cumulative_yield(station_number = "08NM116",
water_year_start = 8,
basin_area = 800)
