Your question seem to me to be not precise enough for us to provide
help. Do you need help with the if() syntax? If yes I would advice you
to read some introductory R tutorial (like "introduction to R" (pdf,
freely avalable on the net)) or some descent textbook.
On quick hint for the correct syntax:
| denotes OR
& denotes AND
you need to write == if you want to use the logical "equals"
If you do not know how to write the results to some dataframe you should
really invest the time to get to know to R by some basic tutorial to
understand the basics.
By the way, if your timeseries is ordered in the way you describe, a
more elegant way would be to create a series consisting of the pressure
value belonging to each entry in the stream stage vector (by repeating
each single value of pressure 12 times (see ?rep ), and then just
substract the two.

Hello,
I have two series, one with stream stage measurements every 5 minutes, and
the other with barometric pressure measurements every hour. I want to
subtract each barometric pressure measurement from the 12 stage measurements
closest in time to it (6 stage measurements on either side of the hour).
I want to do something like the following, but I don't know the syntax.
"If the Julian day of the stage measurement is equal to the Julian day of
the pressure measurement, AND the absolute value of the difference between
the time of the stage measurement and the hour of the pressure measurement
is less than or equal to 30 minutes, then subtract the pressure measurement
from the stage measurement (and put it in a new column in the stage data
frame)."
if ( stage$julian_day = baro$julian_day & |stage$time -
baro$hour| <= 30 )
then (stage$stage.cm - baro$pressure)
Can you help me?
Thanks,
JL
