narw.Rd
Simulates the movements, behavior, and energy budgets of North Atlantic right whales (Eubalaena glacialis) exposed to offshore wind development activities within U.S. waters. The model operates in daily time steps and runs for a full calendar year.

Integer. Number of simulated animals.
An object of class narwscenario
, as returned by scenario
.
An object of class narwsim
, to which the current simulation must be matched. With the exception of wind farm parameters, simulation conditions between paired runs are identical; pairing is therefore useful for comparative assessments of competing offshore wind scenarios.
Character. Text label assigned to the simulation object; used for plotting.
Numeric. Length of time (hours) during which whales cease foraging following a response to pile-driving noise exposure.
Integer. Number of cores to use for parallel processing. By default, each population cohort is assigned to a separate worker if enough cores are available. If not, N-2 cores are used, where N is the number of cores available.
Logical. Whether a progress bar should be printed to the R console during execution. Defaults to TRUE
.
Additional arguments passed to the simulator.
