characterize_channel: Characterize channel

In jschap1/WSEw: River Geometry Package for Studying Water Surface Elevation-Width Relationships

Description

Characterizes channel geometry with shape parameter and bankfull parameters

Usage

characterize_channel(cross_sections, xWSEw, savename = NULL,
  plotflag = FALSE, section_length = 5, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

cross_sections	cross section geometry
xWSEw	WSE-w data
savename	filename to save the fitted models, goodness of fit metrics, and shape parameters

Details

Reports the same metrics as Grimaldi et al. (2018) Drops the first d-w data point to perform fit and avoid an issue with log(0)

Value

list with the following components: A, cross sectional area s, shape parameter wbf, bankfull width dbf, mean bankfull depth dbf.max, maximum bankfull depth dist_downstream, distance downstream b.min, minimum bed elevation xdw, data frame containing width-depth data power model, models fit to linearized cross section model d = aw^s
