Generating observation data files from a data.frame

gen_obs(
  df,
  out_dir,
  usms_list = NULL,
  obs_table = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  out_path = lifecycle::deprecated()
)

Arguments

df: A data frame containing the values of the observations to use (see Details).
out_dir: Path of the directory where to generate the file(s).
usms_list: An optional list of usms names to be used for selecting which files to generate from the obs_table
obs_table: obs_table is no longer supported, use df instead.
out_path: out_path is no longer supported, use out_dir instead.

Value

A return logical status indicating if any error when writing files (FALSE), TRUE when no errors.

Details

df is a data.frame with the following format:

usm_name	ian	mo	jo	jul	densite	lai(n)	masec(n)	azomes
USM_2017_T1_CI	2017	9	6	249	NA	NA	0.31	27.07395
USM_2017_T1_CI	2017	9	20	263	NA	NA	0.60	27.90000
USM_2018_T1	2017	10	20	293	NA	0.1	NA	NA
USM_2018_T1	2018	5	15	482	NA	1.2	NA	NA

usm_name column contains usms names which are used as output .obs files names
ian, mo, jo and jul are mandatory (year, month, day and julian date)
Other columns one per variable contain observations values or NA

@seealso get_var_info for getting variable right syntax or searching a variable name.

Examples

xl_path <- download_usm_xl(file = "inputs_stics_example.xlsx")
#> Warning: inputs_stics_example.xlsx already exists in  /var/folders/tp/bfmjfn9s0hd59bm9z80j3mgm0000gn/T//RtmpMutobK 
#> Consider to set overwrite = TRUE to overwrite (it | them )
obs_df <- read_params_table(file = xl_path, sheet_name = "Obs")
gen_obs(df = obs_df, out_dir = "/path/to/dest/dir")
#> Warning: The directory does not exist /path/to/dest/dir
