In nielsjdewinter/ShellChron: Builds Chronologies from Oxygen Isotope Profiles in Shells

Function that creates a sinusoidal Sea Surface Temperature (SST) curve from a list of parameters

Description

Takes the specified parameters for amplitude, period, phase and average value as well as the number of years specified and the time interval. It then creates a sinusoid based on the boundary conditions. Used as intermediate step during iterative modeling.

Usage

temperature_curve(T_par, years = 1, t_int = 1)

Arguments

T_par	List of four parameters describing (in order) amplitude (T_amp; in degrees C), period (T_per; in days), phase (T_pha in day of the year) and average temperature (T_av; in degrees C)
years	Length of the preferred sinusoid in number of years (defaults to 1)
t_int	Time interval of sinusoidal record (in days)

Value

A matrix containing columns for time (in days) and SST (in degrees C)

Examples

# Set parameters
T_amp <- 20
T_per <- 365
T_pha <- 150
T_av <- 15
T_par <- c(T_amp, T_per, T_pha, T_av)
SST <- temperature_curve(T_par, 1, 1) # Run the function
