The 4-Figure compilation of preliminary spatial pattern figures from the 2014-07NH cruise is now available.  This includes 0/500m Dynamic Height, 10m Salinity, 10m Temperature and 10m Chlorophyll.

The CalCOFI Hydrographic Database & Zooplankton Database are updated whenever new cruise data are finalized. The filenames for the downloadable database & daughter files contain the recent cruise name and date of the update. Since the filenames change often, download links to these files have to be updated in several locations & web pages. In order to minimize this effort & broken links, 'generic' symbolic links will be generated for new data files and their download links:

• CalCOFI_Database_mdb.zip = latest version of the MS Access hydrographic database ie CalCOFI_Database_194903-201307_mdb_12Sept2014.zip
• CalCOFI_Database_csv.zip = latest version of the hydrographic database csv ie CalCOFI_Database_194903-201307_csv_12Sept2014.zip
• CalCOFI_Database_sql.zip = latest version of the hydrographic database sql dump ie CalCOFI_Database_194903-201307_sql_12Sept2014.zip
• CalCOFI_Database_xml.zip = latest version of the hydrographic database xml ie CalCOFI_Database_194903-201307_xml_12Sept2014.zip
• CalCOFI_Zoop.zip = latest version of the zooplankton displacement volume database ie 195101-201307_Zoop.zip

 

 

Symbolic link created for CalCOFI DIC data file (CalCOFI_DICs.zip) = CalCOFI_DICs_200901-201307_12Sept2014.zip. This symbolic link will be updated when a new data file is created. Web page links will be the generic symbolic link URL:

DECODR feature addition - in DECODR1404.exe, under the Contouring tab, on the far right, I've added two contouring-related file creation buttons.
Instead of using marker files, the new [Build Base TXT] will use processed, non-bottle-corrected CTD upcast .asc files to generate the standard level csvs used to generate the standard level contouring base files.

Then the [Create Contour CSVs] module will take the new txt file generated by [Build Base TXT] and create horizontal contour csvs. Anomalies are calculated during this step so the last step is to run the [Horizontals] module to generate the base contour files - the old CODES "email" file option is now "CTD asc". This will improve the preliminary plots since they will display 1m average data instead of "instantaneous" (0.042 second) mrk measurements.

Generating a Data Report from an old ieh (eg 8203) 2014

1). Convert a terpled ieh from Unix to DOS using Ultraedit File/conversions

2). DECODR's contouring module can use the terpled ieh to create map csvs - [ IEH > csv]

3). Run Horizontals module and pick IEH from the Input Data selection box (right side). NOTE: there needs to be a "MAPS" subdir under the Q:\CODES\1982\8203\ main dir. I configured DECODR for 8203 just to make it easier to run/rerun the modules.

4). Pick your Blank File - 8203 is only lines 93 & 90 so pick that blanking file

5). Uncheck any data type that is not in the IEH - 8203 did not have Chlorophyll or Nitrate

6). If Surfer generates misdrawn maps, load the contour and post files into a good version of map manually, replacing the grid file under Properties then save as under a new filename.

Once the t.ieh was converted from Unix to Dos I was also able to run Addthox2 & DareH.exe on it under Virtual XP. 8203t.ieh did not have sigma-theta or O2 sat in the ieh. 8203ta.ieh is the addthox2'd version of 8203t.ieh; 8203TAA.RPT is the DareH.exe version of the Data Report with interpolated nutrients (PO4 & Sil only for 8203; only 125m depth values were interpolated).
