bf_chem_mass_balance: Baseflow Separation by use of a chemical mass balance

In smwesten-usgs/recharge: Estimating Recharge with HYSEP, PART, and Recursive Digital Filter methods.

Description

Extract baseflow from a daily streamflow record using conductance or other continuously monitored conservative chemicals as markers of baseflow and surface flow.

Usage

bf_chem_mass_balance(date, discharge, C, C_baseflow = max(C),
  C_runoff = min(C), STAID = "Unknown")

Arguments

date	vector of dates corresponding to each discharge, should be of class "Date." Missing values are not permitted.
discharge	the daily streamflow to be separated missing values are not permitted
C	daily chemical concentration values
C_baseflow	assumed chemical concentration associated with water derived from baseflow
C_runoff	assumed chemical concentration associated with water deriver from surface flow
STAID	the station identifier for the data.

Value

an object of class "baseflow" and inherits class "data.frame" of the selected data, a data frame of the baseflow information, and other information about the analysis.
