calc_discharge: Calculate Discharge

In mackerman44/DASH: DASH: Drone Assisted Stream Habitat

Calculate Discharge

Description

Calculate the discharge from each station and sum them. Based on the calculations from CHaMP, described on MonitoringMethods.org, which states: Sum station discharge across all stations by calculating the depth x velocity x station width for all stations except first and last. Station discharge for first and last station is 0.5 x station width x depth x velocity. https://www.monitoringresources.org/Document/Method/Details/853

This function assumes the station width represents the distance between the previous station and the current one. In most instances, the station widths will be equal across the entire transect.

Usage

calc_discharge(discharge_df = NULL)

Arguments

discharge_df

input data.frame of ⁠otg_type =⁠ "DischargeMeasurements_6.csv" containing the station width, depth, and velocity data to estimate discharge

Value

a tibble
