adv-class: Class to store acoustic Doppler velocimeter data

Description

Class to store acoustic Doppler velocimeter 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" or "u3" for the other velocity components, or "v" for a matrix holding all of these components. The instrument heading is retrieved with "heading" or "headingSlow" (if appropriate), and similarly for "pitch", "pitchSlow", "roll" or "rollSlow". Temperature and pressure are retrieved with "temperature" and "pressure".}

Assigning values{(not available yet)}

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

See Also

A file containing ADV data is usually recognized by Oce, and so read.oce will usually read the data. If not, one may use the general ADV function read.adv or specialized variants read.adv.nortek, read.adv.sontek.adr or read.adv.sontek.text.

ADV data may be plotted with plot.adv 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 beamToXyzAdv, and from xyz to enu (east north up) may be done with xyzToEnuAdv. toEnuAdv 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 enuToOtherAdv.
