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.
Usage
lakeVolume(inLakeMorpho, correctFactor = 1)
Arguments
inLakeMorpho
An object of lakeMorphoClass. Output of the
lakeSurroundTopo function would be appropriate as input
correctFactor
This a factor used by lakeMaxDepth to
correct the predicted maximum lake depth. Defaults to 1.
Value
Returns a numeric value for the total volume of the lake
