Calculate k (Reuer)

Description

This function calculates the temporal length scale of the NCP measurement, aka a piston velocity (m/d). Essentially it calculates the ventilation based on water column and wind speed over a sequence of wind speed measurements (at 10 m height).

Usage

calc.k.reuer(time, wtime, wspeed, mld, SST, teeter.mod = TRUE, verbose = T)

Arguments

time

the time at which you are calculating k for

wtime

a vector of times at which a wind speed is recorded

wspeed

a vector of prior windspeeds ordered from most recent to oldest

mld

mixed layer depth in meters

SST

mixed layer temperature in C

teeter.mod

a boolean flag to turn on or off the modified version of Reuer's weighting scheme as outlined in Teeter et al. 2018.

Value

It will return a list with the individual weights and weighted sum (for dianostics), the k value (that you want, m/d), the instantaneous k (also useful, m/d), k.hist showing the history of k values (diagnostic), and time is time before measurement that each diagnostic is referenced against (for diagnostics, d).
