Reading acoustic data
The initial processing of acoustic data is done in the program investigateAcousticTracks. The root path of the acoustic data for each year is given in the program acousticFilesCapelinAutumn, in which also input data that are bound to year are set. These data are:
norwegianVessels
norwegianVesselsNames
russianVessels
russianVesselsNames
russianExcel
russianDataFormat
The Norwegian acoustic data are always in LustUser% format,while the Russian acosutic data can have different formats, see the description of investigateAcousticTracks.
It may happen that the Norwegian data consists of several files for each vessels, of overlapping data. If the variable makeConcatenationNorwegianVessels is True, all Norwegian data are read, overlapping data removed and a new file of concatenated data produced, which is used in subsequent runs.
The ListUser5 format can vary by data lines having comma instead of full stop as adecimal delimiter. All commas are therefore replaced by full stops before each line is read, without issuing any comments.
