install.packages("hydroTSM")About hydroTSM
hydroTSM (by Mauricio Zambrano-Bigiarini) handles the daily manipulations of hydrological time series in R: aggregate sub-daily to daily/monthly/annual by hydrologic year, compute seasonal summaries, fill and inspect gaps, and produce the standard exploratory graphics — hydrographs, matrix plots of monthly behaviour, flow-duration curves — with almost no ceremony.
Paired with its sibling hydroGOF (goodness-of-fit metrics for model evaluation), it forms the humble backbone of a great many R hydrology workflows.
