gsw_recurrence function

Calculate Global Surface Water (GSW) Recurrence

Water Recurrence is a measurement of the degree of variability in the presence of water from year to year. It describes the frequency with which water returned to a particular location from one year to another, and is expressed as a percentage. The raster files have integer cell values between [0, 100], where 100 represents that water reoccurs predictably every year, whereas lower values indicate that water only occurs episodically.

calc_gsw_recurrence(engine = "extract", min_recurrence = NULL)

Arguments

• engine: The preferred processing functions from either one of "zonal", "extract" or "exactextract". Default: "extract".
• min_recurrence: Threshold to define which pixels count towards the GSW recurrence area [0, 100].

Returns

A function that returns an indicator tibble with recurrence as variable and the corresponding area (in ha) as value.

Details

The raw data values are aggregated based on a provided threshold parameter min_recurrence, the function returns the area covered by values greater or equal than this threshold.

The required resources for this indicator are:

• global_surface_water_recurrence
