Get sunrise and sunset times by day, latitude, and longitude

Usage

get_sunrise_sunset(
  chosen_date,
  latitude = NULL,
  longitude = NULL,
  survey = NULL,
  station = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  timezone = "US/Alaska"
)

Arguments

chosen_date: Date or charater. Formatted as "YYYY-MM-DD"
latitude: Numeric. Fill in only if survey and station are not entered. latitude in either decimal degrees or a character latitude in degrees and decimal minutes
longitude: Numeric. Fill in only if survey and station are not entered. Longitude in either decimal degrees or a character longitude in degrees and decimal minutes
survey: Character. Fill in only if latitude and longitude are not entered. A character string of the survey you are interested in reivewing. Options are those from public_data$survey, which are "AI", "GOA", "EBS", "NBS", "BSS".
station: Character. Fill in only if latitude and longitude are not entered. A character string of the current station name (as a grid cell; e.g., "264-85"). Stations defined in the station_coords dataset.
verbose: Logical. Default = FALSE. If you would like a readout of what the file looks like in the console, set to TRUE.
timezone: Character. Default = "US/Alaska." Other options include: "US/Aleutian"

Value

Time of sunrise and sunset in text. Also shows a pop-up with sunrise and sunset times.
