format_snowprofileLayers

Calculate missing data.frame columns based on the given ones, if possible.

Analysis and plotting tools for snow profile data produced from manual snowpack
observations and physical snowpack models. The functions in this package support snowpack
and avalanche research by reading various formats of data (including CAAML, SMET,
generic csv, and outputs from the snow cover model SNOWPACK), manipulate the data, and
produce graphics such as stratigraphy and time series profiles. Package developed by
the Simon Fraser University Avalanche Research Program <http://www.avalancheresearch.ca>.
Graphics apply visualization concepts from Horton, Nowak, and Haegeli (2020,
<doi:10.5194/nhess-20-1557-2020>).
