Returns stratification statstics: annual mean, max and total length of summer, winter stratification and ice duration. NOTE: summer strat periods are allocated to the year in which the period starts. Winter stratification and ice periods are allocated to the year in which they end.

Usage

analyse_strat(data = NULL, Ts, Tb, dates, H_ice = NULL, drho = 0.1, NH = TRUE)

analyze_strat(data = NULL, Ts, Tb, dates, H_ice = NULL, drho = 0.1, NH = TRUE)

Arguments

data

dataframe; water temperature data in long format with date, depths, value. Defaults to NULL

Ts

vector; of surface temperatures which corresponds to date vector

Tb

vector; of bottom temperatures which corresponds to date vector

dates

vector; of POSIX style date corresponding to rows of Ts and Tb.

H_ice

vector; of ice thickness which corresponds to date vector, set to NULL if analysis not required. Defaults to NULL

drho

numeric; density difference between top and bottom indicating stratification [kg m^-3]

NH

boolean; northern hemisphere? TRUE or FALSE. Defaults to true
