LayerMeanCell

public LayerMeanCell(DataReference proRef,
                     DataReference lowerRef,
                     DataReference upperRef,
                     Real noData)
              throws VisADException,
                     RemoteException

Constructs from a reference to the atmospheric profile, references to the lower and upper limits of the layer, and a missing-data value.

Parameters:

proRef - The atmospheric profile reference.

lowerRef - The lower layer limit.

upperRef - The upper layer limit.

noData - The missing data value.

Throws:

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

Method Detail

compute

protected Data compute(Data[] datums)
                throws TypeException,
                       VisADException,
                       RemoteException

Computes the layer mean value.

Specified by:

compute in class ComputeCell

Parameters:

datums - The input data. datums[0] is the profile; datums[1] is the lower layer limit; and datums[2] is the upper layer limit.

Returns:

The mean value of the profile parameter.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if an input data reference has the wrong type of data object.

TypeException - if a VisAD data object has the wrong type.

VisADException - if a VisAD failure occurs.

RemoteException - if a Java RMI failure occurs.

getMeanPresRef

public DataReference getMeanPresRef()

Returns the mean pressure within the just-computed layer.

Returns:

The mean pressure of the just-computed layer.
