Load river and lake altrimetry data

The time series of THEIA altimetry data for a given river or lake basin can be loaded using the read_basin_altimetry function.

from hip.analysis.data import read_basin_altimetry

# Load lake data
read_basin_altimetry('tanganika')

# Load river data
read_basin_altimetry('CONGO_BILI_KM2484', lake=False)

The function returns a pandas.DataFrame with date, heigth_above_surface_of_ref (for lake) or orthometric_height_of_water_surface_at_reference_position (for river) columns.
