flood lessons - TO DO LIST

[lwasser]

• [x] FIX KNITR -- Image paths are currently incorrect - they are missing a / and the images aren't rendering on the page.
• [ ] The precipitation data only go to 2013 too. add a few years to make the spike in 2013 easier to see. note (this is not as easy as it seems to find data through 2016)
• [ ] The stream discharge data only go to 12/2013. the plot over time would be more powerful with another YEAR or two of data.
• [ ] Grab the hourly stream discharge - even if it's just for one year. it better shows the spikes that actually occur with discharge.
• [x] Create a figshare account for earthlab
  • [ ] Create a SUBSET of the precip and discharge data for just the few months of time. This subset should be cleaned with dates and times nice and such.
  • [ ] Upload both files to figshare as a part of a larger teaching DATASET. Then they can use download.file to easily create plots
  • [x] for their homework, have a chunk of code that they copy and paste into their RMD file to create a plot.
• [ ] Create a project setup page that tells them to create a data directory somewhere on their computer. That will become their working directory.

it's easiest to go to the station to get data by day / hour.
