transform height above bottom to depth from surface for ADCPs

Status: closed (fixed)

Currently both bogue and jpier are bottom mounted. z dimension in processed data is based on height above the bottom and should be transformed to depth from surface.

ADCP bin height values are determined from the transducer height, blanking above the transducer, bin size and sin of the distance to a bin (since beam is at an 20 deg angle). This is necessary for correct surface masking (sharp reflection of ping at the surface).

Requires nominal depth or better yet, average depth (from deployment-long (or longer if relocated to same exact location) record measurement of depth by the pressure. This will go into the config-file under platform information.

This will then be reflected in proc2latest output and formed correctly for ingestion into SECOORA commons.

See raw2proc page for info on this component.
