EmpiricalCN: Calculate the Curve Number from time series data (P and Q)

In cvitolo/curvenumber: An implementation of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Curve Number method

Calculate the Curve Number from time series data (P and Q)

Description

Calculate the Curve Number from time series data (P and Q)

Usage

EmpiricalCN(tseries, stepsBack = 5, hours2extend = 6, timeUnits = "hours",
  verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

tseries	time series object containing, at least, precipitation ("P") and discharge ("Q")
stepsBack	timesteps to use to generate the linear model for the volume under the rising limb (default = 5)
hours2extend	number of hours to extend the rainfall event to account for the discharge peak to occur (default = 6)
timeUnits	time step units (default = "hours")
verbose	(optional) boolean (FALSE by default). If TRUE prints the progress in terms of event number.

Value

Empirical Curve Number for a given catchment, this is an integer in the range [0,100] with 0 = no runoff and 100 = all rainfall becomes runoff.

Examples

## Not run: 
  data("SevernTS")
  severnCN <- EmpiricalCN(tseries = SevernTS)

## End(Not run)
