AC-9 processing instructions

Media:AC9_HS6_proc_instructions.pdf Original processing instructions.

New processing protocol: Files to be processed from the AC9 and HS6 must be placed in their appropriate respective processing folders in UNIX.

    HYDROSCAT/pb#/
                  dat
                  final
                  from_DH4
    AC-9/pb#/
             final
             processing
             raw
             SEABASS

With these directory structures, matlab processing will take place in the HYDROSCAT/pb# and AC-9/pb#/processing directories. CD to these directories in UNIX, making sure you have X window forwarding or VNC viewer for matlab graphical piping. Once in the directory, type "matlab" to start the program.

Processing files end to end requires corresponding CTD files to be present in your home processing directory structure. AC9 and HS6 SeaBASS files cannot be generated until CTD SeaBASS files are created.

type "process_ac9('pb235')or process_hs6('pb235')

== Check goac9.par and qcal.txt files when processing AC9. ==

goac9.par is used in a critical ac9 temp correction script: It contains information on indexes for merged ac9 to ctd files.

Parameters specified to merge to ctd files are in:

=> /home/data65/pb/AC9/LIST/list_ac9merge_ac9

=> upused.txt which is put in your local processing directory

=> ctd2strip_v2 strips headers from CTD.HDR files. Headers to be taken are specified inside ctd2strip_v2
