equatorialToLocalHorizontal

right ascension, e.g. calculated with
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/eclipticalToEquatorial?package=oce&version=1.1-1" data-mini-rdoc="oce::eclipticalToEquatorial">eclipticalToEquatorial</a></code>.

rightAscension

declination, e.g. calculated with
<code><a rd-options="" href="/link/eclipticalToEquatorial?package=oce&version=1.1-1" data-mini-rdoc="oce::eclipticalToEquatorial">eclipticalToEquatorial</a></code>.

declination

longitude of observation, positive in eastern hemisphere.

longitude

latitude of observation, positive in northern hemisphere.

latitude

Convert from equatorial coordinates to local horizontal coordinates, i.e.
azimuth and altitude.
The method is taken from equations 8.5 and 8.6 of [1], or, equivalently,
from equations 12.5 and 12.6 of [2].

Supports the analysis of Oceanographic data, including 'ADCP'
measurements, measurements made with 'argo' floats, 'CTD' measurements,
sectional data, sea-level time series, coastline and topographic data, etc.
Provides specialized functions for calculating seawater properties such as
potential temperature in either the 'UNESCO' or 'TEOS-10' equation of state.
Produces graphical displays that conform to the conventions of the
Oceanographic literature. This package is discussed extensively in
Dan Kelley's book Oceanographic Analysis with R, published
in 2018 by 'Springer-Verlag' with ISBN 978-1-4939-8842-6.
