Calculate mixed layer depth from temperature using a threshold

Description

Based on the temperature recorded at a specified reference depth, calculates the mixed layer depth using only temperature.

Usage

profile_mld_from_t(
  temperature,
  z,
  reference_depth = 5,
  min_temperature_diff = 0.5,
  temp_threshold = 0.25,
  assign_inversion,
  na_rm = TRUE
)

Arguments

temperature	Numeric vector of temperatures
z	Numeric vector of depths for each of the temperatures
reference_depth	Numeric vector of reference depth, can either be a single depth or multiple depths.
min_temperature_diff	Minimum temperature difference. If the difference in temperatures between the reference depths and other depths is below this threshold. If the difference is below this threshold, the function returns the maximum depth (i.e. column is considered fully mixed).
temp_threshold	Threshold temperature difference
assign_inversion	Substitutes maximum depth when temperature deep in the water column is higher than reference. Rare occurrence that may be an artifact of the survey sampling scheme.
na_rm	Should NA values be omitted?
