Make a Rainfall or Snowmelt-Related Event Hydrograph Distribution

Usage

hydist_rain(dst_peak, baseflow, duration = 3 * 24)

hydist_snow(dst_peak, baseflow, duration = 9 * 24)

Arguments

dst_peak

Distionary distribution of the peak. Left-truncated so as to always exceed the baseflow.

baseflow

Baseflow discharge; single numeric.

duration

Length of the event. Defaults to 3 days for rainfall-related events, and 9 days for snowmelt-related events (in hours).

Value

A hydrograph distribution for rainfall-related and snowmelt-related events, with a constant baseflow and a stochastic peak discharge.

Examples

library(distionary)
d <- distionary::dst_gev(100, 3, 0.1)
set.seed(4)
hs <- hydist_snow(d, 50)
plot(hs, n = 1000, col = "orange3")
hr <- hydist_rain(d, 50)
plot(hr, n = 1000, col = "blue3", add = TRUE)
