UHDAS+CODAS documentation and figures at sea start on the UHDAS web site, usually http://currents/adcp
The automated system extracts data and makes figures that are available on the ship’s network as:
averaged velocity data on the web
These are (preliminary) processed data, regularly extracted and saved as matlab files. Vertical and time averaging are described on the same page. If this above link does not work, click on Quick Links: Data on the UHDAS home page.
every bin, every profile
For each processing directory (instrument + pingtype), high-resolution data are extracted when the database is updated. These matlab files contain the highest vertical resolution available and the hightest temporal resolution supported in the processing (usually 5 minutes).
Access to these files requires you to “map network drive” (on Windows) or “mount” the directory (unix). Instructions for this process start here.
Procedure:
- mount the data directory
- look in current_cruise/proc for the processing directory of interest.
- the files are in contour
- load the files using “load_getmat.m”, documented here.
live figures

archived figures
Figures (contour and vector 3-day plots” are archived (during the cruise) here. The archive is copied to the processing directory at the end of the cruise.
If the above link does not work, click on Quick Links: Figures (archive) on the UHDAS home page.
Shipboard web access to more data and programs
All UHDAS ADCP programs exist on “currents” and can be used by users to extract or load (using Matlab) their own files. Follow these links for more general information about
