US/CA:station::E,H,D,M:California Department of Water Resources

The primary function of the California Data Exchange Center (CDEC) is to facilitate the collection, storage, and exchange of hydrologic and climate information to support real-time flood management and water supply needs in California.

California Department of Water Resources: http://www.water.ca.gov/ California Data Exchange Center: http://cdec.water.ca.gov

Downloads data for a set of CDEC station and sensor ids. If either is not provided, all available data will be downloaded.

Parameters:

• station_id (str) –

  [optional, default is None]

  Each string is the CDEC station ID and consist of three capital letters.

• sensor_num (integer, comma separated integers or None) –

  [optional, default is None]

  If None will get all sensors at station_id.

  SELECTED CDEC SENSOR NUMBERS (these are not available for all sites):

  [optional, defaults to first date in time-series, input filter]

  The start_date of the series in ISOdatetime format, or ‘None’ for beginning.

• end_date (str) –

  [optional, defaults to last date in time-series, input filter]

  The end_date of the series in ISOdatetime format, or ‘None’ for end.
