Create WRCC site location metadata dataframe

After a WRCC tibble has been enhanced with additional columns generated by addClustering we are ready to pull out site information associated with unique deployments.

These will be rearranged into a dataframe organized as deployment-by-property with one row for each monitor deployment.

This site information found in tbl is augmented so that we end up with a uniform set of properties associated with each monitor deployment. The list of columns in the returned meta dataframe is:

> names(p$meta)
 [1] "monitorID"             "longitude"             "latitude"
 [4] "elevation"             "timezone"              "countryCode"
 [7] "stateCode"             "siteName"              "agencyName"
[10] "countyName"            "msaName"               "monitorType"
[13] "monitorInstrument"     "aqsID"                 "pwfslID"
[16] "pwfslDataIngestSource" "telemetryAggregator"   "telemetryUnitID"

wrcc_createMetaDataframe(
  tbl,
  unitID = as.character(NA),
  pwfslDataIngestSource = "WRCC",
  existingMeta = NULL,
  addGoogleMeta = FALSE,
  addEsriMeta = FALSE
)

Arguments

tbl	single site WRCC tibble after metadata enhancement
unitID	character or numeric WRCC unit identifier
pwfslDataIngestSource	identifier for the source of monitoring data, e.g. `'WRCC'`
existingMeta	existing 'meta' dataframe from which to obtain metadata for known monitor deployments
addGoogleMeta	logicial specifying wheter to use Google elevation and reverse geocoding services
addEsriMeta	logicial specifying wheter to use ESRI elevation and reverse geocoding services

Value

A meta dataframe for use in a ws_monitor object.
