Generate a hypsograph curve — generate

This function generates a hypsograph curve for a lake based on the maximum depth, surface area, and volume development factor.

Usage

generate_hypsograph(
  aeme = NULL,
  max_depth,
  surface_area,
  volume_development = 1.5,
  elev = NULL,
  z_range = 0.2,
  ext_elev = 0
)

aeme: An AEME object. If not provided, then max_depth and surface_area must be provided.
max_depth: The maximum depth of the lake.
surface_area: The surface area of the lake.
volume_development: The volume development factor.
elev: The elevation of the lake. If not provided, it is assumed to be the same as the maximum depth.
z_range: numeric; 0-1, representing fraction of hypsograph to be used for extrapolation. Default is 0.2, which uses the top 20 for extrapolation.
ext_elev: numeric; metres to extend the hypograph by.

A data frame with columns for elevation, depth, and area.
