Estimate sediment zones based on hypsograph

Estimate sediment zones based on hypsograph

Usage

estimate_sed_zones(hypsograph)

Arguments

hypsograph

data frame with columns "depth" and "area". Depth should be negative below the surface and positive above. Area should be the lake area at each depth. Hypsograph should be ordered by depth (descending).

Value

A numeric vector with the estimated heights of each sediment zone. The length of the vector corresponds to the number of zones. The heights are cumulative from the lake bottom (i.e., the first value is the height of the first zone from the bottom, the second value is the height of the second zone from the bottom, etc.). The last value should be equal to the maximum depth of the lake.
