In belasi01/RspectroAbs: Processing absorbance spectra from spectrophotometer

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s)

Compute the total absorption for COPS instrument self-shadow correction of LuZ. It is run only after a preliminary processing of the spectrophotometric data using the Rspectro package.

compute.discrete.aTOT.for.COPS(
  cops.path = "./",
  ag.RData = "ag.RData",
  ap.RData = "ap.RData"
)

`cops.path`	is the full path of the COPS data where the absorption.cops.dat file can be found
`ag.RData`	is the full path and file name of the RData file contaning the CDOM absorption spectrum
`ap.RData`	is the full path and file name of the RData file contaning the particle absorption spectrum

The program will open a RData file located in ../COPS/BIN folder to get the wavelengths available on the COPS. It will edit the file ../COPS/absorption.cops.dat and produce a PNG figure showing the spectral absorption that will be used in the COPS processing for instrument self-shadow correction.

The pure water absorption is taken from a composite table (Kou etal 1993, Pope and Fry 1997, etc).

It returns a vector of total absorption.
