particle_ratio_offset(result = c("target", "effect boundary")[1],
  int.eff = 0.5, effect = c("shortterm", "longterm")[1], units = NULL,
  minrat = 100, source1 = rep(40, 365), conc1 = NULL, source2 = rep(x =
  15, 365), conc2 = NULL)

Arguments

result

What to return as result. Options: c("target", "effect boundary"). result == "target" returns the proportion of the offset source to be reduced in order to offset the managed activity at every receptor. result == "effect boundary" returns a one-layer raster with 1 in all the cells where an offset can take place and NA in all others. This can be used to select (mask) from other rasters.

int.eff

Proportion of source 2 that can be addressed by intervention.

effect

Options: c("shortterm", "longterm"). effect == "shortterm": do the calculation in terms of an immediate/short-term effect. This approach gives the result as exceedance counts (standard must not be NULL). effect = "longterm" aggregates the concentrations.

units

Numeric. How many units does source 2 consists of?. If NULL, report proportion default NULL.

minrat

The minimum source ratio for which an offset can be done.

source1

Numeric. Vector of the same length as nlayers(conc1). Total emissions.

conc1

A Raster object with concentrations resulting from source1. Average emissions.

source2

Numeric. Vector of the same length as nlayers(conc2).

conc2

A Raster. Object with concentrations resulting from source2.

Value

A raster with the target expressed as proportion of the offset source to be reduced to offset the managed activity at every receptor (when result = "target") or the boudary of the area that can be offset using the particle equivalence approach when the efficiency of the intervention is int.eff.
