Read a time series of vertical profiles (vpts
) from file
read_vpts(file, radar, lat, lon, height, wavelength = "C")
file | A text file containing the standard output (stdout) generated
by vol2bird (or the package function |
---|---|
radar | A string containing a radar identifier. |
lat | numeric. Latitude of the radar in decimal degrees. |
lon | numeric. Longitude of the radar in decimal degrees. |
height | numeric. Height above sea level of the radar antenna in meters. |
wavelength | Radar wavelength in cm, or one of 'C' or 'S' for C-band and S-band radar, respectively, in which case C-band wavelength is assumed to be 5.3 cm and S-band wavelength 10.6 cm |
An object inheriting from class vpts
