For monthly data, month should be numeric, not string #20

This will allow for data frame to be easily sorted in increasing order

While this would likely make the data frame smaller, the csv file created by RiverWare uses full month names. May want to mimic that structure.

should check how much memory it takes; could always (1) request CADSWES change that or (2) after reading it in to memory, change to numeric

rabutler commented 7 years ago

for a 112,488 row data frame created by getDataForAllScens() the data frame that uses characters for month is 4.95 MB, and this is reduced to 4.5 MB if the Month variable is stored as an integer.
