>3 beam instruments #53

Closed lkilcher closed 1 year ago

lkilcher commented 5 years ago

Data from instruments with more than 3 beams are not handled consistently. Different manufacturers use different beam-to-inst rotation matrices (e.g., RDI calculates error velocity, while Nortek just calculates another vertical velocity). More work is needed to figure out how to handle the extra information consistently.

Currently this is handled by setting the dir coordinate to the TRDI vs Nortek convention. Related to #55.
