Classes to handle sodar data samples.

Sodar data samples are collected into daily files. Each sample consists of a
header followed by an observation for each height.

The daily file is split into a list (modeled by the class Data) of samples
(modeled by the class Sample) in chronological order. A Data object is
initialized with a string representing the daily file data:

     dataHandle = open('20070601.dat')
     dataString = data.read()
     dataObject = Data(dataString)

Each Sample object has attributes for a Header and Body object. The Samples
within a Data object may also be accessed by time using a string of the format
YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM as in index on the Data object to return the first matching
Sample in the Data object:

    dataObject[0] # the first Sample object of the day
    dataObject['2007-06-01-09-15'] # the Sample object for 9:15am
    dataObject[15].header # the Header object of the 16th Sample
    dataObject['2007-06-01-09-15'].body # the Body object for 9:15am

Header objects act as dictionaries. Access each sample-wide parameter of
interest using the header parameter name as a keyword on the Header object:

    dataObject[15].header['VAL2'] # the number of validations for beam 2
    dataObject['2007-06-01-09-15'].header['SPU3'] # normalized false signal
                                                  # probability on beam 3
    dataObject[0].header['SNR1'] # signal to noise on beam 1

Consult your Sodar documentation for a complete list of header parameters.

Body objects act as lists of dictionaries. The dictionaries access
altitude-specific parameters by name as keywords. The dictionaries are in
altitude-ascending order. Each dictionary may also by accessed by indexing with
an altitude string:

    dataObject[15].body[0] # the data for the lowest altitude, 16th sample
    dataObject['2007-06-01-09-15'].body['70'] # the data for 70 meters
    dataObject[15].body[0]['SPEED'] # wind speed at lowest altitude
    dataObject['2007-06-01-09-15'].body['70']['DIR'] # wind direction
                                                     # at 70 meters

The body attribute of a Sample object may also be indexed directly on a Sample
object for the most convenient semantics:

    dataObject[15][0]['SPEED'] # wind speed at lowest altitude, 16th sample
    dataObject['2007-06-01-09-15']['70']['DIR'] # wind direction,
                                                # 70 meters, 9:15am
