The data for the present cruise is in the network share data directory under the generic name “current_cruise”, and under the cruise name used for logging. During a cruise, all logging and processing take place in this directory. Figures and data accessible through the web interface are generated using these data. After the ADCP Operator has stopped ADCP data acquisition and clicked “end cruise” the archived figures are copied to this directory, and it then contains all pertinent data from the ADCP.
There are three categories of data, all located in the logging directory, /home/data/CRUISEID. The cruise DVD shoule contain the entire /home/data/CRUISEID directory. This table is a short description of the contents:
subdirectory | contents | importance | back up for ... |
raw | all raw data | critical | archiving |
rbin | intermediate files | nice to have | anyone who gets ‘raw’ |
gbin | intermediate files | nice to have | anyone who gets ‘raw’ |
proc | processed data
|
final at-sea product | science CD after cruise |
If the cruise name is “vg0810” :
- Data logs under /home/data/vg0810 on the ADCP linux computer “currents”. The active UHDAS cruise directory contains the following subdirectories (link shows expanded tree format)
- raw: logging goes on here in directories named by instrument
- ADCP (wh300, nb150, os150, os75, os38)
- ancillary (gpsnav, gyro, ashtech, posmv, seapath, mahrs, phins...)
- config (configuration directory)
- log (diagnostics directory)
- rbin: intermediate version of ancillary ascii data in “raw” subdirectory, stored as binary.
- ancillary only (gpsnav, gyro, ashtech, posmv, seapath, mahrs, phins...)
- gbin: time-matched ADCP, navigation, attitude; time in UTC
- proc : one processing directory for each instrument+pingtype possible; CODAS processing
- standard CODAS processing subdirectories
- config (instrument configurations used at sea)
- png_archive (figures from the web site)
