Oyster_subincr_shell_height: A fomula to calculate shell height per sub-increment

Description

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>

Usage

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

Value

subincr_matrix

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

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
