computeSLABrhogs: Compute 'density over grain size' averaged over slab

In sarp.snowprofile: Snow Profile Analysis for Snowpack and Avalanche Research

Compute 'density over grain size' averaged over slab

Description

For each layer, compute the average density over grain size of all layers above, i.e. ⁠<rho/gs>_slab⁠. This variable has been found to characterize the cohesion of slabs: new snow slabs tend to consist of low density & large grains, and more cohesive slabs of older snow tend to consist of higher density & smaller grains (Mayer et al, 2022 in review).

Usage

computeSLABrhogs(profile, implementation = c("pub", "literal")[1])

Arguments

profile	snowprofile object
implementation	"pub" for ⁠<rho/gs>_slab⁠, "literal" for 'mean density of slab over mean grain size of slab' ⁠<rho>_slab / <gs>_slab⁠.

Value

snowprofile object with added layers column ⁠$slab_rhogs⁠. Note that topmost layer is always NA.
