RAPLOT II: A dedicated data processor for radioisotopic sand tracer surveys
This nonfiction guide explains RAPLOT II, a FORTRAN-based program that processes radiation and navigation data from field surveys. It helps turn large data volumes into usable plots, statistics, and magnetic-tape outputs for further analysis.
- How navigation and radiation data are edited and converted into coordinates and counts per second
- How background radiation is estimated and subtracted from measurements
- How results are printed, graphed, and prepared for tape-based archival processing
Ideal for readers of historical coastal engineering software and readers seeking insight into field data processing workflows.
