This function is useful to fine what characteristic name, result sample fraction, unit code, and other parameters are mapped with USGS parameter codes. This information is useful for converting workflows from a more traditional NWIS water quality retrieval to a Water Quality Portal retrieval.
Value
a data frame with columns "parm_cd", "description", "characteristicname", "measureunitcode", "resultsamplefraction", "resulttemperaturebasis", "resultstatisticalbasis", "resulttimebasis", "resultweightbasis", "resultparticlesizebasis", "last_rev_dt"
Examples
pcodes <- c("00070", "00075", "00430", "52642")
# \donttest{
all <- pcode_to_name()
some <- pcode_to_name(pcodes)
# }
