ts.internal.energy {rLakeAnalyzer}

Calculate physical indices for a timeseries.

Description

Functions for simplifying the calculation of physical indices for a timeseries of observation data. Can usually be called directly on data loaded directly using load.ts and load.bathy.

These are wrapper functions that accept a timeseries of data and call the core physical metric functions (like schmidt.stability) on each timestep.

Usage

ts.internal.energy(wtr, bathy, na.rm = FALSE)

Arguments

wtr

A data frame of water temperatures (in Celsius). Loaded using load.ts. Must have columns datetime, wtr_##.# where ##.# is depth in meters.

bathy

A data frame containing hypsometric data. Loaded using load.bathy

na.rm

Boolean indicated if step-by-step removal of NA's should be tried. If false, a timestep with any NA values will return an NA value. If true, best effort will be made to calculate indices despite NA values.

Value

Returns a data frame with the timeseries of calculated derivatives. All include a ‘datetime’ column, but derivative columns differ between functions.
