Description Usage Arguments Value See Also Examples

This function calculates the average temperature of a layer of water between two depths.

1	layer.temperature(top, bottom, wtr, depths, bthA, bthD)

`top`	Numeric value of the depth (m) of the top of the layer from the water surface
`bottom`	Numeric value of the depth (m) of the bottom of the layer from the water surface
`wtr`	Numeric vector of water temperature in degrees C
`depths`	Numeric vector of depths (m) corresponding to water temperature vector
`bthA`	Numeric vector of water body cross sectional area (m2) corresponding to bthD depths
`bthD`	Numeric vector of water body bathymetric depths (m) corresponding to areal bthA values

Numeric value of average water temperature
