new_snowprofile: Low-level constructor function for a snowprofile object

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

Description

Low-cost, efficient constructor function to be used by users who know what they're doing. If that's not you, use the high-level constructor snowprofile.

Usage

new_snowprofile(
  station = character(),
  station_id = character(),
  datetime = as.POSIXct(NA),
  latlon = as.double(c(NA, NA)),
  elev = double(),
  angle = double(),
  aspect = double(),
  hs = double(),
  type = character(),
  band = character(),
  zone = character(),
  layers = snowprofileLayers()
)

Arguments

station	character string
station_id	character string
datetime	date and time as class POSIXct in most meaningful timezone (timezone can be converted very easily: e.g. print(profile$datetime, tz = 'EST') defaults to '1999-12-31 UTC'
latlon	2-element vector latitude (first), longitude (second)
elev	profile elevation (m)
angle	slope angle (degree)
aspect	slope aspect (degree)
hs	total snow height (cm); if not provided, the field will be derived from the profile layers.
type	character string, must be either 'manual', 'vstation' or 'aggregate'
band	character string describing elevation band as ALP, TL, BTL (alpine, treeline, below treeline)
zone	character string describing the zone or region of the profile location (e.g., BURNABY_MTN)
layers	snowprofileLayers object

Value

snowprofile object
