Waves parameters from the 5th beam

[bfanch]

Hi, I'm trying to calculate the wave parameters from the 5th beam of a Nortek ADCP. I was wondering(/hoping) if there were functions already coded in the library dolfyn? Thanks for your help, François

François-

Thanks for your interest in DOLfYN. Unfortunately this feature is not implemented, or planned to be. But, if you develop these tools, it sounds like something that would be a valuable addition to the package.

Just occurred to me: if "from the 5th beam of a Nortek ADCP", you mean the acoustic surface tracking (AST) data, dolfyn can read that in. You can use calc_psd to calculate the vertical wave spectra, and then import MHKiT to calculate the wave stats.
