summary.Tides: Summary of tidal characteristics

In Tides: Quasi-Periodic Time Series Characteristics

Description

Outputs list of summary statistics of a Tides oabject

Usage

## S3 method for class 'Tides'
summary(object, ...)

Arguments

object	Tides object (e.g. the result of TidalCharacteristics)
...	Not used (Added for S3 method compatibility)

Value

A list containing:

• IFsum: Inundation frequency: see IF(). The proportion of high water tides higher than h0. A warning will be displayed when the inundation frequency is 100%.

• nIndsum: Inundations during time span, when the waterlevel > h0.

• IHsum: Average inundation height. A warning will be displayed when the inundation frequency is 100%.

• IHcsum: Average inundation height (per cycle).

• Tunitssum: time units

• ITsum: Average inundation time, in Tunitssum A warning will be displayed when h0 is never inundated

• ITCsum: Average inundation time (per cycle), in Tunitssum

• ITMsum: Maximal inundation time, in Tunitssum

• DTsum: Average dry time, in Tunitssum

• DTCsum: Average dry time (per cycle), in Tunitssum

• DTMsum: Maximal dry time, in Tunitssum

• MHWsum: Average high water. Note that the calculated HW and LW are always >= h0!

• MLWsum: Average low water. Note that the calculated HW and LW are always >= h0!

• TRsum: Average tidal range. Note that the calculated HW and LW are always >= h0!

• nTCsum: number of (tidal) cycles

• nTCFsum: number of full tidal cycles (used to measure averages per cycle)

• nGsum: number of gaps

• GTsum: total gaps time in mins

• nTSsum: number of continuous timeseries

• TTNoGapsum: total continuous timeseries time (without gaps, also tidal phases before and after gap are not included)

• ITTsum: total inundation time (without gaps, and also tidal phases before and after gap are not included)

• DTTsum: total dry time (without gaps, and also tidal phases before and after gap are not included)

• IPsum: proportion of total time inundated (without gaps, and also tidal phases before and after gap are not included)

• DPsum: DTTsum/TSsum # proportion of total time dry (without gaps, and also tidal phases before and after gap are not included)
