Perhaps you meant to point this out, but the cfs[which.max(cfs)] and

[1] 1 2 1 2 1 2
x[which.max(x)]
[1] 2
x[x==max(x)]
[1] 2 2 2
So maybe your point is: which does the OP want (in case there are
repeated maxes)? I suspect the == forms, but ...?
Bert,
When I looked at the results I saw there were many rows with the maximum
(and minimum) values. I thought those represented instrument limits, and
they apparently do. For example, 99.9000 cubic feet per second is reached
multiple times over the past 32 years.
max(pdx_disc$cfs)
[1] 99900
and
filter(pdx_disc, cfs == max(cfs))

# … with 64 more rows
So the gauge was pegged at its top end quite a few times over the years.
Makes me wonder just how much higher really was.
Carpe weekend,
