S4 Class representing AEME data

Details

This class represents data related to a lake for running AEME. Items in bold are required to run the models.

Slots

lake

A list representing lake information.

  • name: character; lake name.

  • id: character; lake identifier.

  • latitude: numeric; lake latitude.

  • longitude: numeric; lake longitude.

  • elevation: numeric; lake elevation.

  • shape: sf; lake shape.

  • depth: numeric; lake depth.

  • area: numeric; lake area. Calculated from shape if not provided.

time

A list representing time information.

  • start: character; start date.

  • stop: character; end date.

  • timestep: numeric; time step.

  • spin_up: list; spin up information for each model

configuration

A list representing each model's configuration.

  • model_controls: dataframe; Model controls for simulation.

  • dy_cd: list; DYRESM-CAEDYM configuration.

  • glm_aed: list; GLM-AED configuration.

  • gotm_wet: list; GOTM-WET configuration.

observations

A list representing observation information.

  • lake: dataframe; lake observations.

  • level: dataframe; lake level observations.

input

A list representing input information.

  • init_profile: dataframe; initial temperature profile (if none use NULL or leave empty; if empty/NULL, the observations file will be used).

A list representing inflows information.

  • data: named list of inflow dataframes.

  • factor: named list; inflow factors for each model.

outflows

A list representing outflows information.

  • data: named list of outflow dataframes.

  • factor: named list; outflow factors for each model.

  • lvl: numeric; height of lake level outflow.

water_balance

A list representing water balance information.

  • method: integer; Method for calculating water balance. 1 = none, 2 = outflows, 3 = inflows and outflows.

  • use: character; Can be 'obs' or 'mod'. Use observations or modelled data for water balance.

  • data: list of dataframe for water balance.

output

A list representing output information.

  • dy_cd: list; DYRESM-CAEDYM output.
