[R] Working With Variables Having Different Lengths

I know in my experience "Cond" (conductivity??) doesn't vary much within a
stream except for during high flow events, and I would imagine the same is
true for TDS.  If these are all low flow values, you could possibly
determine a mean/median value to use for the missing data points.  Obviously
this is going to be different if you are sampling storm events.  If you have
stage data and lots of data points, you may be able to model the parameters
as a function of stage.
