The height above the transducers is computed along beam. The angle to nadir for true height above transducer face of the ADCP can be corrected by the cosine of theta where theta is the angle between nadir and beam direction (usually fixed at 20 deg). All proc_*_adcp.py modules to computer where surface is located above ADCP.
Directly needed for computing height down from surface. Related Ticket (Ticket 26)

This correction helps but still need another filter, using error or echo to mask where surface affected by other issues (bubbles, waves). Needs another ticket ([ticket:28 Ticket) for additional work.
