baseflow_Gustard: compute the baseflow time series using the Gustard algorithm.

In IvanHeriver/hsa-R-package: Hydrological Signature Analysis toolbox

Description

This function compute baseflow time series using the algorithm of Gustard et al. (1992) (a.k.a. method of the Institude of hydrology).

Usage

baseflow_Gustard(Q, d = 5, k = 0.9)

Arguments

Q	numeric vector. Streamflow vector.
d	integer. Window size (in days) to look for local minima (Default: 5).
k	float. Factor to apply to local minima when looking for pivot points (i.e. local local minima)

Value

Returns a baseflow time series.
