Download an index of BBMP files available in a specified year. This is done in analysing the webpage of the data server, and so it will likely fail if the format of the webpage is changed. Please inform the developers if you find such a failure, so they can try to make changes.

Usage

dod.ctd.bbmp.index(
  year,
  server = paste0("https://cioosatlantic.ca/erddap/files/",
    "bio_atlantic_zone_monitoring_program_ctd/",
    "Bedford%20Basin%20Monitoring%20Program"),
  debug = 0
)

Arguments

year

integer or character value indicating the year of interest. Note that the year 2025 will not work, because the server supplies information for that year in a pattern that does not match other years. Since the pattern appears to be temporary, the present code is not set up to handle it.

server

character value indicating the base name of the server. This may change over time.

debug

an integer value indicating the level of debugging. If this exceeds 0, then some debugging messages will be printed. This value is passed down to related functions, but with 1 subtracted for each pass.

Value

dod.ctd.bbmp.index returns a data frame with columns named year, ID, and direction. These elements may be supplied as parameters of the same name to dod.ctd.bbmp().
