rLakeHabitat - Interpolate Bathymetry and Quantify Physical Aquatic Habitat
Offers bathymetric interpolation using Inverse Distance
Weighted and Ordinary Kriging via the 'gstat' and 'terra'
packages. Other functions focus on quantifying physical aquatic
habitats (e.g., littoral, epliminion, metalimnion, hypolimnion)
from interpolated digital elevation models (DEMs). Functions
were designed to calculate these metrics across water levels
for use in reservoirs but can be applied to any DEM and will
provide values for fixed conditions. Parameters like Secchi
disk depth or estimated photic zone, thermocline depth, and
water level fluctuation depth are included in most functions.
