Estimate Average Thermocline Depth

Description

Estimate average thermocline depth across multiple sites and dates.

Usage

estThermo(data, site, date, depth, temp, combine = "all")

Arguments

data	data frame of water column temperature profiles
site	character giving the name of the site column
date	character giving the name of the date column
depth	character giving the name of the depth column
temp	character giving the name of the temp column
combine	logical indicating whether or not to average across sites ("sites"), dates ("dates"), or sites and dates ("all"), default = "all"

Value

either numeric value of average thermocline depth, standard deviation, and n or data frame of thermocline depths, standard deviations, and n across sites or dates
