standardVariables: standardVariables

In WilliamCooper/Ranadu: Functions for use with RAF aircraft data files

Description

Standard set of variables, usually used in a call to getNetCDF

Usage

standardVariables(list = NULL, SRC = "NCAR")

Arguments

list	An optional list of variable names to add to the standard list
SRC	An indicator of which institution's list should be used. Default is 'NCAR'; other choices are 'UWYO' and 'FAAM'.

Details

Sets a standard list of variable names in VarList suitable for use in a call to getNetCDF. Optionally, add "list" to the variables. The standard variables are ATX, DPXC, EWX, GGALT, LATC, LONC, MACHX, MR, PALT, PSXC, QCXC, TASX, WDC, WSC, WIC. For NCAR/RAF-produced aircraft-data files, these variables are respectively the air temperature (degC), dew-point temperature (degC), aircraft altitude (m), aircraft latitude (deg N), aircraft longitude (deg. E), Mach Number, mixing ratio (g/kg), pressure altitude (m), ambient pressure (hPa), dynamic pressure (hPa), true airspeed (m/s), wind direction (degrees relative to true north), wind speed (m/s), and vertical wind (m/s). For additional information on these and other variables used in those data archives, see the document ProcessingAlgorithms.pdf with link in the github Wiki for this R package.
