calcHyps: Calculate Hypsography

In rLakeHabitat: Interpolate Bathymetry and Quantify Physical Aquatic Habitat

Calculate Hypsography

Description

Calculates area at each depth for a given waterbody.

Usage

calcHyps(DEM, DEMunits = "m", depthUnits = "ft", by = 1, output = "values")

Arguments

DEM	SpatRaster object of a given waterbody, rasters can be transformed to SpatRaster via the rast() function in 'terra'
DEMunits	character describing units of raster coordinate system. Can be meters, kilometers, or hectares ("m", "km", "ha"), default = "m"
depthUnits	character describing units of depth measurement. Can be either feet or meters ("ft", "m"), default = "ft"
by	numeric increment per unit by which volumes are calculated. Higher values will result in lower resolution. Default = 1
output	character describing desired output, can either be a data frame of values ("values") or a hypsography plot ("plot"). Default = "values"

Value

data frame of areas at each depth unit ("values") or a hypsography plot ("plot")

Examples

#load raster
DEM <- terra::rast(system.file("extdata", "example_raster.tif", package = 'rLakeHabitat'))
#run function
calcHyps(DEM, DEMunits = 'm', depthUnits = 'm', by = 1, output = 'values')
