echopype.process Package¶
Include methods to manipulate echo data that is already converted to netCDF.
EK60 and AZFP narrowband echosounders:
calibration and echo-integration to obtain volume backscattering strength (Sv) from power data.
Simple noise removal by removing data points (set to
NaN
) below an adaptively estimated noise floor.Binning and averaging to obtain mean volume backscattering strength (MVBS) from the calibrated data.
EK80 broadband echosounder:
calibration based on pulse compression output in the form of average over frequency.
Functions¶
|
Provides data analysis and computation tools for sonar data in netCDF form. |
