SoilDiscretize: Discretize soil vertically

In geocryology/PermafrostTools: PermafrostTools

Description

Generate thickness and depth of soil layers for numerical model

Usage

SoilDiscretize(dzmin, zmax, base)

Arguments

dzmin	Minimal z-spacing [m] ("how fine is the grid")
zmax	Depth of lowermost node [m] center ("how large is the domain")
base	Resolution reduction ("how strong is the grid corsened with depth"); base = 1 corresponds to equal spacing, base = 1.5 implies each successive layer with depth begin 1.5 times thicker than the one above.

Details

Makes a soil layer spacing based on the simple model dz = dzmin * base^(n) where n is the layer number.

Value

data frame with layer thickness (dz) and depth of layer centre (z) below the surface
