ms_separate_baseflow: Calculate baseflow

In MacroSHEDS/macrosheds: Tools for interfacing with the MacroSheds dataset

Calculate baseflow

Description

Use the Lynne-Hollick baseflow filter, via hydrostats, to perform baseflow separation

Usage

ms_separate_baseflow(discharge, alpha = 0.975, n.reflected = 30)

Arguments

discharge	data.frame. A MacroSheds discharge table of one site
alpha	Numeric. Default 0.975, alpha value for the Lynne-Hollick baseflow filter. See details for more information.
n.reflected	Numeric. Default 30, see hydrostats::baseflow documentation for more information.

Details

This function uses the Lynne-Hollick baseflow filter to separate baseflow and stormflow. The underlying package hydrostats is used for this calculation. Additional information on alpha values and n.reflected can be found using ?hydrostats::baseflows

Value

returns a discharge data.frame in MacroSheds format with the added column of "baseflow"
