Description

modern_2 estimates the sediment flux (qs) of modern rivers based on bedform length and river slope. Implemented from Mahon et al. (2018).

Usage

1
modern_2(L, S, uncert = NULL)

Arguments

L

The mean length of migrating bedforms.

S

The reach-average slope of the river.

uncert

The uncertainty window for empirical parameters. The user should put in a confidence interval. A lower confidence interval will have a narrower error envelope, but will require more tenuous conclusions.

Value

Returns a list with elements: V, the dune migration rate in the river (m/s). qs, the bedload flux in the river (m^3/s). If uncertainty is also requested, the output will include upper and lower bounds for confidence, V_env and qs_env
