Read a time series of vertical profiles (vpts) from file
Arguments
- file
A text file containing the standard output (stdout) generated by vol2bird (or the package function
calculate_vp).- 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
- sep
the field separator character, see utils::read.table
Value
An object inheriting from class vpts, see
vpts() for details.
Examples
# locate example file:
stdout_file <- system.file("extdata", "example_vpts.txt", package = "bioRad")
# load time series:
ts <- read_stdout(stdout_file, radar = "KBGM", wavelength = "S")
ts
#> Irregular time series of vertical profiles (class vpts)
#>
#> radar: KBGM
#> # profiles: 11
#> time range (UTC): 2016-09-02 00:16:00 - 2016-09-02 01:52:00
#> time step (s): min: 540 max: 600
