I am working with a river measurement from an ADCP equipment. I would like to have the average velocity and direction from each ensemble extracted directly from WinRiver. I guess this can be done since WinRiver calculates these values when creating the Stick Ship Track Plot but so far I am only able to get the velocity and direction values per bin which leaves me with between 12 and 16 values per ensemble.
Any suggestion will be deeply appreciated!
Hi Rebeca,
Generally, the users guide for the software should tell you clearly as to what are your data exporting options. If there is no option for ensemble averaged velocities then, I guess it doesn't do that kind of post-processing (you can also write to the tech support guys). Otherwise, you can just calculate the averages yourself in R or Matlab, since ,each ensemble has a unique coordinate, you just need to script a loop that intakes flexible bin numbers and averages it.
let me know if it works!
