deliverSediment: Calculate delivered sediment over one or more types of tides

In tilbud/rCTM: R-Cohort Marsh Equilibrium Model

Calculate delivered sediment over one or more types of tides

Description

This function calculates the delivered sediment for a marsh elevation by summarising between one and three types of tidal cycles.

Usage

deliverSediment(
  z,
  suspendedSediment,
  nFloods = 705.79,
  meanSeaLevel,
  meanHighWater,
  meanHighHighWater = NA,
  meanHighHighWaterSpring = NA,
  meanLowWater = meanSeaLevel - meanHighWater,
  meanLowLowWater = meanSeaLevel - meanHighHighWater,
  meanLowLowWaterSpring = meanSeaLevel - meanHighHighWaterSpring,
  captureRate,
  floodTime.fn = floodTimeLinear
)

Arguments

z	a numeric, elevation of the marsh
suspendedSediment	a numeric, suspended sediment concentration of the water column
nFloods	a numeric, the number of tidal flooding events per year
meanSeaLevel	a numeric, Mean Sea Level
meanHighWater	a numeric, Mean High Water level
meanHighHighWater	a numeric, Mean Higher High Water level
meanHighHighWaterSpring	a numeric, Mean Higher High Spring Tide Water level
meanLowWater	a numeric, Mean Low Water level
meanLowLowWater	a numeric, Mean Lower Low Water level
meanLowLowWaterSpring	a numeric, Mean Low Lower Spring Tide Water level
captureRate	a numeric, the number of times a water column will clear per tidal cycle
floodTime.fn	a function, specify the method used to calculate flooding time per tidal cycle

Value

a numeric, the sediment delivered over the course of a year
