binmapAdp {oce} | R Documentation |
Bin-map an ADP object, by interpolating velocities, backscatter amplitudes, etc., to uniform depth bins, thus compensating for the pitch and roll of the instrument. This only makes sense for ADP objects that are in beam coordinates.
binmapAdp(x, debug=getOption("oceDebug"))

debug |
a flag that turns on debugging. Set to 1 to get a moderate amount of debugging information, or to 2 to get more. |
This is a preliminary function that is still undergoing testing. Once the methods have been tested more, efforts may be made to speed up the processing, either by vectorizing in R or by doing some of the calculation in C.
An object of class
"adp"
.
This only works for 4-beam RDI ADP objects.
Dan Kelley and Clark Richards
The method was devised by Clark Richards for use in his PhD work at Department of Oceanography at Dalhousie University.
