LakeDEM(station_point, lake_poly, lake_hybas_limit, DEM_path, outdir, saga_env,
  DEM_source = "SHEDS", stn_name_col = "station_name",
  stn_num_col = "station_number")

Arguments

station_point

a SpatialPointsDataFrame corresponding to a hydrometric station. Must be in same coordinates system as DEM and coordinate system must be projected (not lat/long). Must have longitude and latitude attributes. Must also have station name and station number attributes.

lake_poly

SpatialPolygonDataFrame of lake that the station is on

lake_hybas_limit

SpatialPolygonDataFrame of HydroBASINS upstream area delineation as produced by HYBASBasinLimits_Lake

DEM_path

One of: (1) a file path to a directory containing DEM files either in the the format n tiles will be downloaded (if DEM_source='CDEM', 'CDED' etc.), (2) a file path to a dem file in SAGA format. The DEM should be in a projected coordinate system and the coordinate system should match that of the point (e.g. Canada Albers Conformal Conic)

outdir

Directory to output final upslope shapefile

saga_env

A SAGA geoprocessing object. Suggested version is 2.2.2.

DEM_source

character, one of: c('CDED', 'NED', 'CDEM, CDSM', 'SHEDS'). Ignored if a DEM file is supplied to DEM_path

@param stn_num_col character string of the column name in station_point data frame that contains the station name, defaults to "station_number"

stn_name_col

character string of the column name in station_point data frame that contains the station name, defaults to "station_name"

Value

No returned object, but creates a basin delineation from the DEM
