get_quantity: Get a quantity of a vertical profile (vp) or time series of vertical profiles (vpts)

Description

Get a quantity of a vertical profile (vp) or time series of vertical profiles (vpts)

Usage

get_quantity(x, quantity)
# S3 method for vp
get_quantity(x, quantity = "dens")
# S3 method for list
get_quantity(x, quantity = "dens")
# S3 method for vpts
get_quantity(x, quantity = "dens")

Arguments

x

A vp or vpts object.

quantity

A profile quantity, one of:

• "height"

• "u"

• "v"

• "w"

• "ff"

• "dd"

• "sd_vvp"

• "gap"

• "dbz"

• "eta"

• "dens"

• "DBZH"

• "n"

• "n_all"

• "n_dbz"

• "n_dbz_all"

Value

class vp: a named vector for the requested quantity.

class list: a list of a named vectors for the requested quantity.
