In adokter/birdRad: Biological Analysis and Visualization of Weather Radar Data

Read time series of vertical profiles (vpts) from file(s)

Description

Reads vpts data from one or more files. The following file formats are supported (but cannot be mixed):

• VPTS CSV.

• ODIM bird profile.

• vol2bird standard output (see example below).

Usage

read_vpts(files, data_frame = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

files	Path(s) to one or more files containing vpts data.
data_frame	When FALSE (default) output a vpts object, when TRUE output a data.frame
...	Additional arguments for backward compatibility, passed to read_stdout.

Value

vpts object.

Examples

## read a vertical profile time series in VPTS CSV format:
vptsfile <- system.file("extdata", "example_vpts.csv", package = "bioRad")
read_vpts(vptsfile)
# read a single vertical profile file in ODIM h5 format:
vpfile <- system.file("extdata", "profile.h5", package = "bioRad")
read_vpts(vpfile)
# read a vertical profile time series in `vol2bird` stdout format:
stdout_file <- system.file("extdata", "example_vpts.txt", package = "bioRad")
read_vpts(stdout_file, radar = "KBGM", wavelength = "S")
