Ron Brown ADCP figures: check for recent updates

These plots are generated automatically from the 5-minute pingdata data collected by the RDI DAS PC and processed with UH software on the shipboard linux system "adelie".  An attempt is made to use reasonable editing criteria  for this first-pass at processing, however, this must be considered a preliminary dataset.  Because there is no human intervention,  automatic choices of plotting parameters may not be optimal for a given section.

Figures from the final dataset are available at http://currents.soest.hawaii.edu.   At sea, adelie has a home page, accessible as http://adelie.



vector plots:
caveats:
    (1) SST comes from the shipboard adcp and has not been calibrated
    (2) These data use corrected heading when available, but quality control varies. Some underway data may not be reliable. This will be corrected before the the final dataset is released.
 
DESCRIPTION   RESOLUTION DURATION   UPDATED
31-50m   overview 1hr averages all data so far twice daily (0800, 1800)
31-50m    with SST 1hr averages last 3 days twice daily (0800, 1800)
75-125m 1hr averages last 3 days twice daily (0800, 1800)
225-275m 1 hr averages last 3 days twice daily (0800, 1800)
31-50m    (high res) 15min averages last 1.5 days twice daily (0800, 1800)



contour plots:
caveats:
An attempt is made to contour the previous 3 days against time, (zero-based decimal day), latitude, and longitude, regardless of the cruise track. The viewer must exersize judgement when interpreting these figures.
