In KateMMiller/wetlandACAD: Package for compiling, querying, summarizing and plotting freshwater wetland data in Acadia NP

compile_sent_WL: Calculates water level from raw sentinal well data.

Description

This function uses (and requires) the output from prep_well_data() to calculate the water level relative to the wetland surface for each sentinel site. This should only be used for one year at a time, to ensure that the function is using the correct well measurements to calculate water level. This function also requires a data frame called conv_table with the following fields: site, wellabs, ground, corfac, baro

Usage

compile_sent_WL(df, conv_table, between_visits = TRUE)

Arguments

df	data frame output from join_well_data
conv_table	data frame listing site and well info for WL conversion
between_visits	TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE will include only measurements between the spring and fall well visits. If FALSE, will return all measurements included in the data frame generated from prep_well_data(). Defaults to TRUE.

Value

Returns a data frame with the water level relative to the ground surface for each sentinal water level logger.

Examples

## Not run: 

# Compile tables
dir = c('C:/Water_level_data/growing_season_2019')
well19 <- prep_well_data(path = dir, year = 2019, growing_season = TRUE, export = FALSE)
conv_tbl_19 <- prep_conv_table(path = dir, year = 2019, visits = "fall", export = FALSE)

# Create data frame with water level relative to surface, cut at spring well visit
well19WL<-compile_sent_WL(well19, conv_tbl_19, between_visits = TRUE)

## End(Not run)
