Utility function to help retrieve new EC data and/or prune duplicates, as NEON provisions new data or re-provisions data for an existing site and month.
Usage
manage_local_EC_archive(
file_dir,
get = TRUE,
unzip_files = TRUE,
trim = FALSE,
dry_run = TRUE,
sites = "all",
release = "RELEASE-2023"
)Arguments
- file_dir
Specify the root directory where the local EC store is kept.
- get
Pull down data from NEON API that does not exist locally?
- unzip_files
NEON gzips the hdf5 files, should we unzip any gzipped files within file_dir? (Searches recursively)
- trim
Search through local holdings, and remove older file where there are duplicates?
- dry_run
List files identified as duplicates, but do not actually delete them? Default true to prevent unintended data loss.
- sites
Which sites to retrieve data from? Default will be all sites with available data, but can specify a single site or a vector here.
- release
Download data corresponding to a specific release? Defaults to "RELEASE-2023." To download all data, including provisional data, set to NULL.
Value
Returns nothing to the environment, but will download new NEON HDF5
files for selected sites (if get = TRUE), unzip them in the local
file directory (if unzip_files = TRUE), and identify and remove
suspected duplicate files (if trim = TRUE and dry_run = FALSE).
