monthlyWB_summary {sharpshootR}

Water Balance Summaries

Description

A summary of a monthly water balance, including estimates of total and consecutive "dry", "moist", "wet" conditions, total surplus, deficit, and AET, and annual AET/PET ratio.

Usage

monthlyWB_summary(w, AWC = NULL, PWP = NULL, FC = NULL, SAT = NULL)

Arguments

w

used for for monthlyWB_summary(): a data.frame, such as result of monthlyWB();

AWC

numeric, optional plant-available water storage (mm)

PWP

numeric, optional permanent wilting point (volumetric water content)

FC

numeric, optional field capacity (volumetric water content)

SAT

numeric, optional saturation capacity (volumetric water content)

Value

monthlyWB_summary(): a data.frame containing:

• cumulative (dry, moist, wet) days

• consecutive (dry_con, moist_con, wet_con) days

• total deficit (total_deficit) in mm

• total surplus (total_surplus) in mm

• total actual evapotranspiration (total_AET) in mm

• annual actual evapotranspiration to potential evapotranspiration ratio (annual_AET_PET_ratio)

Note

Work in progress: AWC, PWP, FC, and SAT arguments are currently ignored!
