hydpar_hypres: Mualem - van Genuchten Parameters from regression functions...

In pschmidtwalter/brook90r: Run the LWF-Brook90 hydrological model from within R.

Description

Derives the Mualem - van Genuchten parameters ThetaR, ThetaS, Alpha, n, Tort and Ksat from sand, silt, clay, bulk density, organic carbon content values

Usage

hydpar_hypres(clay, silt, bd, oc.pct = 0.1, topsoil = TRUE,
  humconv = 1.72)

Arguments

clay	clay mass percent
silt	silt mass percent
bd	bulk density in g cm-3
oc.pct	organic carbon content in mass percent
topsoil	Is the sample from the topsoil?
humconv	conversion factor oc.pct to organic matter percent

Value

A data.frame with the number of rows equal to length(clay) The data.frame contains the following variables:

ths

Saturation water content fraction

thr

Residual water content fraction

alpha

Alpha parameter of van Genuchten water retention function, m-1

npar

N parameter of van Genuchten water retention function

mpar

M parameter of van Genuchten water retention function

ksat

Saturated hyraulic conductivity parameter of Mualem hydraulic conductivity function, mm d-1

tort

Tortuosity parameter of Mualem hydraulic conductivity function
