Format CTD for input into optimal estimation routine

Description

This function takes a list of CTD profiles and puts them into the format that is required for the optimal estimation routine.

Usage

as.oax(
  x,
  var,
  longitude0,
  latitude0,
  addDayNumber = FALSE,
  onlyBottom = FALSE,
  noise = 0.1,
  utm = TRUE,
  zone = 19
)

Arguments

`x`	a list of CTD profiles
`var`	Variable name to be extracted
`longitude0`, `latitude0`	Reference location of the point from which distance is measured for each station if utm is FALSE, ignored otherwise
`addDayNumber`	Logical indicating whether to append day number to output
`onlyBottom`	Logical indicating whether to extract only bottom values
`noise`	Numeric value required for input into the optimal estimation routine, default is set to `0.1` which should be used.
`utm`	Logical indicating whether or not to use lonlat2utm function to calculate distances, if FALSE, geodDist is used
`zone`	zone used in calculation if utm is TRUE, ignored otherwise. Default is associated with the summer groundfish area.

Details

The data format required to run the optimal estimation routine requires that data have columns of data be x-dist, y-dist, depth, dayNumber(optional), data, noise
