particle_track: Track one or more particles

In BigelowLab/necofs: FVCOM for NECOFS

Description

Track one or more particles

Usage

particle_track(
  X,
  P0 = X$random_points(),
  tstep = 60,
  tmax = 3600 * 12,
  reverse = FALSE,
  drag = c(0, 0, 0),
  show_progress = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  filename = c("particle_track.gpkg", NA)[2],
  overwrite = TRUE
)

Arguments

X	NE_Physics object
P0	starting point(s), see NE_Physics$random_point
tstep	numeric, seconds between each iteration
tmax	numeric, number of seconds to run for
reverse	logical, if TRUE run the track reverse in time. It is an error to provide the seed point with a timestamp equivalent to the first timestep of the model. See random_point to set the seed with other timestamps
drag	numeric, a three element vector of drag factors in [x, y, z], like a sinking rate in z. Drag units must be the same as the units of u, v, and ww.
show_progress	logical, if TRUE then show a progress bar
verbose	logical, if TRUE output messages (for development)
filename	an optional filename to save the track to or NA to skip
overwrite	logical, if TRUE allow overwriting of existing files

Value

sf object of type POINT
