Oyster_subincr_shell_height function

A fomula to calculate shell height per sub-increment

Formula that calculates shell height at the time of deposition of each sub-increment. de Winter, N. J. (2017) doi:10.5194/gmd-2017-137

Oyster_subincr_shell_height(subincr_matrix, IncG, Xstep)

Arguments

• subincr_matrix: Data frame that contains characteristics of every sub-increment
• IncG: Matrix of X- and Y-coordinates of all interpolated sub-increments
• Xstep: Step value in X-direction for the interpolation of sub-increments

Details

Shell height is calculated via the Pythagorean Theorem using the X- and Y-coordinates of both ends of the shell sub-increment with extreme X-values

Returns

• subincr_matrix: Revised version of the "incr_matrix" data frame that contains shell height recalculated for every sub-increment
