Hello Ellen,
First up I think you can use reshape to get your data into a form that
kiteChart will work with...
# assuming your matrix or data.frame is called X
Xwide <- reshape(X, timevar="depth", idvar="distance", direction="wide")
# replace NAs with 0 (don't think kiteChart likes NA)
Xwide[ is.na(Xwide) ] <- 0
kiteChart(Xwide)
I haven't considered all of your plot requirements here but hopefully
this will get you started.
