adp-class: Class to store acoustic Doppler profiler data

Description

Class to store acoustic Doppler proviler data, with standard slots metadata, data and processingLog.

Methods

Extracting values{Data may be accessed as e.g. adv[["u1"]], where the string could also be "u2", etc., for the other velocity components. Use "heading", "pitch" or "roll" for the instrument angles. Use "temperature" or "pressure" for pressure, or "time" for time. Location data may be accessed with adp[["latitude"]] and adp[["longitude"]], which return scalars.}

Assigning values{(not available yet)}

Overview of contents{The show method (e.g. show(d)) displays information about an ADV object named d.}

A file containing ADP data is usually recognized by Oce, and so read.oce will usually read the data. If not, one may use the general ADP function read.adp or specialized variants read.adp.rdi, read.adp.nortek or read.adp.sontek or read.adp.sontek.serial.

ADV data may be plotted with plot.adp function, which is a generic function so it may be called simply as plot.

Statistical summaries of ADV data are provided by the generic function summary, while briefer overviews are provided with show.

Conversion from beam to xyz coordinates may be done with beamToXyzAdp, and from xyz to enu (east north up) may be done with xyzToEnuAdp. toEnuAdp may be used to transfer either beam or xyz to enu. Enu may be converted to other coordinates (e.g. aligned with a coastline) with enuToOtherAdp.
