4.3.1.1. Extracting CODAS data to Matlab files

Programs for extracting data from the CODAS database and writing to disk, are part of the CODAS compiled code: adcpsect or getmat. For most UHDAS datasets, the output from these programs already exists as part of the at-sea processing, or anyone with a CODAS processing code can run these programs.

getmat: getting all bins and all profiles from a CODAS database;

• simple to set up: extract with one compiled executable, load with one matlab file

• extract every bin and every profile

• access to many variables (time, position, velocity, amplitude, temperature, heading)

adcpsect: getting velocities from a codas database;

• provides more control over extraction parameters;

• allows averaging over time (or space) and vertical

• extract with one compiled executable program “adcpsect”

• only provides time, position, and velocity
