insertUnobservedBasalLayer {sarp.snowprofile}

Insert a special layer at the bottom to indicate a snow profile that's unobserved from a specific point down to the ground internal function, not exported. used in snowprofileLayers

Description

Insert a special layer at the bottom to indicate a snow profile that's unobserved from a specific point down to the ground internal function, not exported. used in snowprofileLayers

Usage

insertUnobservedBasalLayer(object, basal_offset, setBasalThicknessNA = FALSE)

Arguments

object

snowprofileLayers object

basal_offset

a positive numeric scalar indicating the thickness of the basal unobserved layer(s)

setBasalThicknessNA

boolean TRUE/FALSE indicating whether the thickness of the inserted layer should be basal_offset or NA. Setting the thickness to NA corresponds to setting a flag that the depth of the profile (i.e., the unobserved basal layers) is unknown. This often happens in manual profiles which only observe the uppermost meter (or so) of the snowpack

Value

same object with basal layer inserted as individual row in the data.frame
