Value used to correct the predicted maximum lake depth.
Defaults to 1. Corrections are simply accomplished by multiplying 
estimated max depth by correction factor. Correction factors can be 
determined empirically by regressing the predicted depth against a 
known maximum depth while forcing the intercept through zero.  The 
slope of the line would then be used as the correction 
factor(Hollister et. al, 2011).

correctFactor


This function uses slope and distance to estimate max depth.  This is based 
on the assumption that the slope of the surrounding topography is similar 
to the bathymetry of the lake (Hollister et. al 2011).


Lake morphometry metrics are used by limnologists to understand,
among other things, the ecological processes in a lake. Traditionally, these
metrics are calculated by hand, with planimeters, and increasingly with
commercial GIS products. All of these methods work; however, they are either
outdated, difficult to reproduce, or require expensive licenses to use. The
\code{lakemorpho} package provides the tools to calculate a typical suite
of these metrics from an input elevation model and lake polygon. The metrics
currently supported are: fetch, maximum length, maximum width, mean width,
maximum depth, mean depth, shoreline development, shoreline length, surface
area, and volume.
