ODFNames2oceNames {oce}R Documentation

Translate from ODF names to oce names

Description

Translate from ODF names to oce names

Usage

ODFNames2oceNames(names, PARAMETER_HEADER = NULL)

Arguments

names

Data names in ODF format.

PARAMETER_HEADER

optional list containing information on the data variables

Details

The following table gives the regular expressions that define recognized ODF names, along with the translated names as used in oce objects. If an item is repeated, then the second one has a 2 appended at the end, etc. Note that quality-control columns (with names starting with "QQQQ") are not handled with regular expressions. Instead, if such a flag is found in the i-th column, then a name is constructed by taking the name of the (i-1)-th column and appending "Flag".

Regexp Result Notes
ALTB_*.* altimeter
BATH_*.* barometricDepth Barometric depth (of sensor? of water column?)
BEAM_*.* a Used in adp objects
CNTR_*.* scan Used in ctd objects
CRAT_*.* conductivity Conductivity ratio
COND_*.* conductivity_Spm Conductivity in S/m
DEPH_*.* pressure Sensor depth below sea level
DOXY_*.* oxygen_by_volume Used mainly in ctd objects
ERRV_*.* error Used in adp objects
EWCT_*.* u Used in adp and cm objects
FFFF_*.* flag_archaic Old flag name, replaced by QCFF
FLOR_*.* fluorometer Used mainly in ctd objects
FWETLABS fwetlabs Used in ??
LATD_*.* latitude
LOND_*.* longitude
NSCT_*.* v Used in adp objects
OCUR_*.* oxygen_by_mole Used mainly in ctd objects
OTMP_*.* oxygen_temperature Used mainly in ctd objects
OXYV_*.* oxygen_voltage Used mainly in ctd objects
PHPH_*.* pH
POTM_*.* theta Used mainly in ctd objects
PRES_*.* pressure Used mainly in ctd objects
PSAL_*.* salinity Used mainly in ctd objects
PSAR_*.* par Used mainly in ctd objects
QCFF_*.* flag Overall flag
SIGP_*.* sigmaTheta Used mainly in ctd objecs
SIGT_*.* sigmat Used mainly in ctd objects
SYTM_*.* time Used in many objects
TE90_*.* temperature Used mainly in ctd objects
TEMP_*.* temperature Used mainly in ctd objects
UNKN_*.* - The result is context-dependent
VCSP_*.* w Used in adp objects

Any code not shown in the list is transferred to the oce object without renaming, apart from the adjustment of suffix numbers. The following code have been seen in data files from the Bedford Institute of Oceanography: ALTB, PHPH and QCFF.

Value

A vector of strings.

Consistency warning

There are disagreements on variable names. For example, the “DFO Common Data Dictionary” (http://www.isdm.gc.ca/isdm-gdsi/diction/code_search-eng.asp?code=DOXY) indicates that DOXY has unit millmole/m^3 for NODC and MEDS, but has unit mL/L for BIO and IML.
