useMOVE.py

#Use MOVE
#######
#Imports two csv files containing the long record and the short record
#CSV format for this example is: column 1 = years, column 2 = flows
#imports the MOVE.py module and calls comp_extended_record function
#writes results to a new csv file named 'extended_short_record.csv"
#the input csvs can be swapped for other stations provided they are in the
#same format as the example data
#this script has only been tested on the example data in Appendix 8 of
#Guidelines for Determining Flood Flow Frequency Bulletin 17C
#Version 1.1 published May 2019 - USGS
#Results provided by this script are slightly different than those in the
#example due to rounding
