sensor(sensor, /, sensitivity=None, depth=None, position=None, latitude=None, longitude=None)

Collect sensor information.

Typical sensor information is the position, sensitivity, and deployment depth. The position can be given as a string, a tuple, or separate longitude and latitudes. This factory function will return a Sensor or SensorPosition depending on if a position is provided. All arguments except position can be array-like matching an array-like sensor, or single values.

Parameters:

sensorstr

The label for the sensor. All sensors must have a label.

sensitivityfloat

The sensor sensitivity, in dB re. V/Q, where Q is the desired physical unit.

depthfloat

Sensor deployment depth.

positionstr or tuple

A coordinate string, or a tuple with lat, lon information.

latitudefloat

The latitude the sensor was deployed at.

longitudefloat

The longitude the sensor was deployed at.

Returns:

Sensor or SensorPosition
