join_rza_to_fastrcat: Link RZA data to FastCAT data

In Copepoda/rrza: Maps for the Rapid Zooplankton Assesment (RZA)

Description

Links temperature and salinity generated from FastrCAT to Rapid Zooplankton Assesment data. Six new colums are added to the RZA data, these are mean of the water column, surface which is defined as the mean of the top 5 meters, and bottom which is defined as the mean of the bottom 5 meters; for both temperature and salinity. These are joined by the station.haul names.

Usage

join_rza_to_fastrcat(rza_path, fastrcat_path, depth_range = 5)

Arguments

rza_path	The path to the directory where the .xlxs rza dataframe is located along with the .xlxs file name. This is a dataframe specifically formated for rza data entry.
fastrcat_path	The path to the directory of where the .csv file generated by FastrCAT::make_dataframe_fc(). This must be from the same Cruise as the RZA data.
depth_range	The depth range wanted to define surface and bottom. The default is 5 meters, this means the surface is defined as 0 to 5 meters and the bottom is defined as maximum tow depth to the 5 meters above.

Value

writes a new .csv file to the RZA folder of the linked data. Date/time and latitude/longitude returned will be from the fastrcat.
