Returns the average density of a layer between two depths.
This function calculates the average density of a layer of water between two depths.
layer.density(top, bottom, wtr, depths, bthA, bthD, sal = wtr * 0)
top |
Numeric value of the depth (m) of the top of the layer from the water surface |
bottom |
Numeric value of the depth (m) of the bottom of the layer from the water surface |
wtr |
Numeric vector of water temperature in degrees C |
depths |
Numeric vector of depths (m) corresponding to water temperature vector |
bthA |
Numeric vector of water body cross sectional area (m2) corresponding to bthD depths |
bthD |
Numeric vector of water body bathymetric depths (m) corresponding to areal bthA values |
sal |
Optional numeric vector of salinity in Practical Salinity Units corresponding to water temperature vector. If left blank, salinity is set to be zero |
Numeric value of average water density for bounded layer in kg/m^3
