During processing of, say station 067, the data files listed below are
produced. While these are all ASCII files containing numbers and
comment lines beginning with #, they have meta-data encoded in them and
are, therefore, not particularly readable. They can easily be imported
into Matlab, however, using the loadANTS.m.
=Standard Field Names=
depth depth in meters
downcast flag that is 1 for downcast, 0 for upcast
elapsed elapsed time in seconds since beginning of cast
ens ADCP ensemble number
dc_ downcast prefix
uc_ upcast prefix
BT_ bottom-tracking prefix
.mad mean-absolute-deviation suffix
.nsamp number-of-sample suffix
=Output Files=
067.log - log-file of diagnostic processing output
067.w - this file contains literally everything
- each record contains a single w sample (from a
particular bin of a particular ensemble) with all
available metadata
067.prof - vertical velocity profiles:
1) downcast only
2) upcast only
3) combined down-/upcast (not recommended)
4) bottom tracked (only near seabed)
067.LADCPtis - time series of LADCP reference-layer w data
- this file is produced before processing, i.e. it can
be used to diagnose time-lagging problems
067.tis - more complete time series data including
067.TL - diagnostic output of time-lagging algorithm
