## TODO: w must be in sync with the water-year if appropriate (e.g. xeric SMR)

#' @title Water Balance Summaries
#' 
#' @description A summary of a monthly water balance, including estimates of total and consecutive "dry", "moist", "wet" conditions, total surplus, deficit, and AET, and annual AET/PET ratio. 
#' 
#' @note Work in progress: AWC, PWP, FC, and SAT arguments are currently ignored!

#' @param w used for for `monthlyWB_summary()`: a data.frame, such as result of `monthlyWB()`; 
#' 
#' @param AWC numeric, optional plant-available water storage (mm)
#' @param PWP numeric, optional permanent wilting point (volumetric water content)
#' @param FC numeric, optional field capacity (volumetric water content)
#' @param SAT numeric, optional saturation capacity (volumetric water content)
#' 
#' 
#' @return `monthlyWB_summary()`: a `data.frame` containing:
#' 
#'   * cumulative (`dry`, `moist`, `wet`) days 
#'   * consecutive (`dry_con`, `moist_con`, `wet_con`) days 
#'   * total deficit (`total_deficit`) in mm
#'   * total surplus (`total_surplus`) in mm
#'   * total actual evapotranspiration (`total_AET`) in mm
#'   * annual actual evapotranspiration to potential evapotranspiration ratio (`annual_AET_PET_ratio`)
