lakeVolume

An object of <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/lakeMorphoClass?package=lakemorpho&version=1.0.2" data-mini-rdoc="lakemorpho::lakeMorphoClass">lakeMorphoClass</a></code>.  Output of the 
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/lakeSurroundTopo?package=lakemorpho&version=1.0.2" data-mini-rdoc="lakemorpho::lakeSurroundTopo">lakeSurroundTopo</a></code> function would be appropriate as input

inLakeMorpho

This a factor used by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/lakeMaxDepth?package=lakemorpho&version=1.0.2" data-mini-rdoc="lakemorpho::lakeMaxDepth">lakeMaxDepth</a></code> to 
correct the predicted maximum lake depth.  Defaults to 1.

correctFactor


This function returns lake volume for the input lake.  The volume is 
calculated using maximum lake depth and maximum distance ratio to transform
all pixels and thus, distances, to an estimated depth.  These depths are 
multiplied by the area of the pixel and summed.


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outdated, difficult to reproduce, or require expensive licenses to use.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.
