Create named list of area parameters

Usage

create_area_pars(
  max_area,
  current_area,
  proportional_peak_t,
  total_island_age,
  sea_level_amplitude,
  sea_level_frequency,
  island_gradient_angle
)

Arguments

max_area: Numeric defining maximum area.
current_area: A numeric with the current island area at present (i.e., at the end of the simulation).
proportional_peak_t: Numeric value from 0 to 1 indicating where in the island's history the peak area is achieved.
total_island_age: Numeric defining total island age.
sea_level_amplitude: Numeric defining amplitude of area fluctuation from sea level.
sea_level_frequency: Numeric defining frequency of sine wave of area change from sea level.
island_gradient_angle: Numeric defining the angle in degrees specifying the slope of the island.

Value

list of numerical values containing area and sea level parameters for island ontogeny simulation
