DECODR1304 Additions & Updates

Posted by on in DECODR
Additions/Updates:
[ casts.csv>castdb.csv ] will generate an Access-ready cast-table importable csv. The cst_cnt should increment properly - it will use a database you select to set the beginning cst_cnt OR you can key-enter your desired start cst_cnt (for updates). Report Order & Order Occupied are user-selectable.

[ sta.csvs>bottledb.csv ] will generate an Access-ready bottle-table importable csv. The cst_cnt & btl_cnt should increment - it will use a database you select to set the beginning btl_cnt & cst_cnt OR you can key-enter your desired starting btl_cnt and/or cst_cnt (for updates). Please note that each text field is treated independently so you can enter a starting btl_cnt without a cst_cnt or vice-versa BUT the blank cnt will be set by the user-selected database.
Report Order & Order Occupied are user-selectable as well as 'shallow to deep' or 'deep to shallow' depth order.

CESL 12Mar2013

Posted by on in CESL
The CTDatDepth PST & UTC in the casts.csv was incorrect when generated by CESL's csv rebuilding module (regenerates the casts.csv & all the sta.csvs automatically). This module was developed to batch recreate all the csvs so new columns could be added to older cruises. Unfortunately, the ATDepth PST date & time was UTC and AtDepth UTC was UTC+8. CESL was fixed, new casts.csvs generated for 1104, 1108, 1110, 1202, 1203. The AtDepthDate_PST & AtDepthDate_UTC columns were cut & pasted into the working casts.csvs so point-checking data codes & quality codes would remain intact. New IEHs & Data Reports for all published cruises should be updated as well as database dates and times.

CESL update to 89 col format

Posted by on in CESL
CESL1301.exe will generate sta.csvs with columns to accommodate oxygens in umoles/kg from bottles, primary & secondary CTD oxygen sensors. These columns will be updated by DECODR.

BtlVsCTD updated with oxygens in umoles/kg

Posted by on in BtlVsCTD
CTD asc files contain CTD primary & secondary (when installed) oxygen measurements in umoles/kg. These data were not included in the CTD-bottle data merged csvs. With the mandate to include oxygen in umoles/kg as part of our dataset, these columns are now included in the ctd.csvs. Eight additional columns have been added: Ox1uM, Ox1uM_CruiseCorr, Ox1uM_StaCorr, Ox2uM, Ox2uM_CruiseCorr, Ox2uM_StaCorr, OxuMAve_StaCorr, plus the OxBuM column for the bottle value.

Reporting of bottle oxygens in umoles/kg should begin on CalCOFI 1301SH (Jan 2013). With the addition of bottle oxygens in umoles/kg, bottle-corrected CTD oxygens in umoles/kg will populate the ctd.csvs. These data will be archive with final data.

CalCOFI started running oxygens with the ODF auto-titrator in Oct 2003 so it may be possible to generate umoles/kg values from archived runs as time permits (which it rarely does). Further investigation of this possibility is necessary ie whether older cruise bottle oxygens can be reprocessed to umoles/kg easily.

DECODR Database module update

Posted by on in DECODR
Tweaked the latest DECODR Database module (Database tab) - users need to run the [db Connection] 1st to get the bottle and cast counts when using casts.csv or sta.csvs to create a database-friendly import file. DECODR was hardwired to a specific database file. Now it prompts users to select the database to use - click [db Connection], select the database (Q:\database is the default path), exit the form, then run the [Sta.csvs > db csv] or [Casts.csv > db] csv modules to generate properly indexed bottle & cast csvs to import.
