cline_calc: Calculate cline of series of segments

Description Usage Arguments Value References See Also

Description

Cline depth is defined as the midpoint of the segment connecting inflection points that has the maximum slope. A cline cannot occur over a depth range of less than 1m and also cannot be the shallowest segment. Violating both conditions will thrown warnings though this function handles both differently. Used mostly with wtr_layer

Usage

1
cline_calc(z_seg = z_seg, sigma_seg = sigma_seg)

Arguments

z_seg

depth in metres; should be an increasing vector

sigma_seg

parameter measured in the water column profile

Value

the depth of the cline
