buildScenarioCurve: Build scenario sea-level curve

In tilbud/rCTM: R-Cohort Marsh Equilibrium Model

Build scenario sea-level curve

Description

This function builds an annualized set of MEM inputs including sea-level rise and suspended sediment concentrations.

Usage

buildScenarioCurve(
  startYear,
  endYear = startYear + 99,
  meanSeaLevel,
  relSeaLevelRiseInit = 0.3,
  relSeaLevelRiseTotal = 100,
  suspendedSediment
)

Arguments

startYear	an integer, year in form YYYY, the start year of the scenario
endYear	an integer, year in form YYYY, the end year of the scenario
meanSeaLevel	a numeric or a vector of numbers, either indicating mean sea-level at the start of scenario, or mean sea-level at each year of the scenario
relSeaLevelRiseInit	a numeric, initial rate of relative sea-level rise
relSeaLevelRiseTotal	a numeric, total relative sea-level rise over the course of the scenario
suspendedSediment	a numeric or a vector of numbers, either average annual suspended sediment concentration, or a vector of annual suspended sediment concentration for each year of the scenario

Value

a data frame including columns for year, sea-level, and suspended sediment concentration, and rows for each year in the scenario
