temperature_curve: Function that creates a sinusoidal Sea Surface Temperature...

In ShellChron: Builds Chronologies from Oxygen Isotope Profiles in Shells

Description

Takes the specified parameters for amplitude, period, phase and average value as well as the number of years specified and the time interval. It then creates a sinusoid based on the boundary conditions. Used as intermediate step during iterative modeling.

Usage

temperature_curve(T_par, years = 1, t_int = 1)

Arguments

T_par	List of four parameters describing (in order) amplitude (T_amp; in degrees C), period (T_per; in days), phase (T_pha in day of the year) and average temperature (T_av; in degrees C)
years	Length of the preferred sinusoid in number of years (defaults to 1)
t_int	Time interval of sinusoidal record (in days)

Value

A matrix containing columns for time (in days) and SST (in degrees C)

Examples

# Set parameters
T_amp <- 20
T_per <- 365
T_pha <- 150
T_av <- 15
T_par <- c(T_amp, T_per, T_pha, T_av)
SST <- temperature_curve(T_par, 1, 1) # Run the function
