Calculating the percent of the wetted width shaded by banks and vegetation modified for use with aqua_light

Source: R/shade_calc_AL.R

A modified version of the shade_calc function designed to work with the changes reflected in the aqua_light function.

Arguments

delta

difference between the sun and stream azimuth (sun-stream)
solar_altitude

Solar altitude (radians) calculated by solar_c.R
water_width

Wetted water width
WL

Water level
bankfull_width

Bankfull width
BH

Bank height
TH

Tree height
overhang

Effectively canopy radius
overhang_height

height of the maximum canopy overhang (think canopy radius)

Value

Returns percent of the wetted width shaded by the bank and by vegetation
