Variables

Required variables

ABSIC backscatter_intensity_from_acoustic_beam TIME, N_VEL_COMPONENT, N_VEL_INSTRUMENT
CORRN noise_correlation_percent_from_each_acoustic_beam TIME, N_VEL_COMPONENT, N_VEL_INSTRUMENT
XYZ_VEL* (or ENU_VEL/BEAM_VEL) TIME, N_VEL_COMPONENT, N_VEL_INSTRUMENT
HEIGHT or DEPTH variable[math]\displaystyle{ \doubledagger }[/math] TIME, N_VEL_INSTRUMENT
HEADING TIME_HPR, N_VEL_INSTRUMENT

ROLL TIME_HPR, N_VEL_INSTRUMENT
  • Some manufacturers record corr and amplitude for each beam or in the instrument coordinate system. Nortek records these variables in the instrument XYZ frame of reference.
  • [math]\displaystyle{ \doubledagger }[/math] A variable situating the instruments in the water column is required. This may be a nominal depth/height or a time-varying depth or height above the bottom
