bind_into_vpts: Bind vertical profiles ('vp') into time series ('vpts')

In bioRad: Biological Analysis and Visualization of Weather Radar Data

Bind vertical profiles (vp) into time series (vpts)

Description

Binds vertical profiles (vp) into a vertical profile time series (vpts), sorted on datetime. Can also bind multiple vpts of a single radar into one vpts.

Usage

bind_into_vpts(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'vp'
bind_into_vpts(...)

## S3 method for class 'list'
bind_into_vpts(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'vpts'
bind_into_vpts(..., attributes_from = 1)

Arguments

x	A vp, vpts object or a vector of these.
...	A vp, vpts object or a vector of these.
attributes_from	Integer. Which vpts to copy attributes from (default: first).

Details

bind_into_vpts() currently requires profiles to have aligning altitude layers that are of equal width. Profiles are allowed to differ in the number of altitude layers, i.e. the maximum altitude.

Value

A vpts for a single radar or a list of vpts for multiple radars. Input vp are sorted on datetime in the output vpts.

Methods (by class)

• bind_into_vpts(vp): Bind multiple vp into a vpts. If vp for multiple radars are provided, a list is returned containing a vpts for each radar.

• bind_into_vpts(list): Bind multiple vp objects into a vpts. If data for multiple radars is provided, a list is returned containing a vpts for each radar.

• bind_into_vpts(vpts): Bind multiple vpts into a single vpts. Requires the input vpts to be from the same radar.

• summary.vpts()

Examples

# Split the example vpts into two separate time series, one containing
# profile 1-10 and a second containing profile 11-20
vpts1 <- example_vpts[1:10]
vpts2 <- example_vpts[11:20]

# Bind the two vpts together
vpts1_and_2 <- bind_into_vpts(vpts1, vpts2)

# Verify that the binded vpts now has 20 profiles, 10 from vpts1 and 10 from
# vpts2
summary(vpts1_and_2)

# Extract two profiles
vp1 <- example_vpts[1]
vp1
vp2 <- example_vpts[2]
vp2

# Bind the two profiles back into a vpts:
bind_into_vpts(vp1, vp2)
