CODAS processing note:
======================
Overview
--------
The CODAS database is a specialized storage format designed for
shipboard ADCP data. \"CODAS processing\" uses this format to hold
averaged shipboard ADCP velocities and other variables, during the
stages of data processing. The CODAS database stores velocity
profiles relative to the ship as east and north components along with
position, ship speed, heading, and other variables. The netCDF *short*
form contains ocean velocities relative to earth, time, position,
transducer temperature, and ship heading; these are designed to be
\"ready for immediate use\". The netCDF *long* form is just a dump of
the entire CODAS database. Some variables are no longer used, and all
have names derived from their original CODAS names, dating back to the
late 1980's.
Post-processing
---------------
CODAS post-processing, i.e. that which occurs after the single-ping
profiles have been vector-averaged and loaded into the CODAS database,
includes editing (using automated algorithms and manual tools),
rotation and scaling of the measured velocities, and application of a
time-varying heading correction. Additional algorithms developed more
recently include translation of the GPS positions to the transducer
location, and averaging of ship's speed over the times of valid pings
when Percent Good is reduced. Such post-processing is needed prior to
submission of \"processed ADCP data\" to JASADCP or other archives.
Full CODAS processing
---------------------
Whenever single-ping data have been recorded, full CODAS processing
provides the best end product.
Full CODAS processing starts with the single-ping velocities in beam
coordinates. Based on the transducer orientation relative to the
hull, the beam velocities are transformed to horizontal, vertical, and
\"error velocity\" components. Using a reliable heading (typically from
the ship's gyro compass), the velocities in ship coordinates are
rotated into earth coordinates.
Pings are grouped into an \"ensemble\" (usually 2-5 minutes duration)
and undergo a suite of automated editing algorithms (removal of
acoustic interference; identification of the bottom; editing based on
thresholds; and specialized editing that targets CTD wire interference
and \"weak, biased profiles\". The ensemble of single-ping velocities
is then averaged using an iterative reference layer averaging scheme.
Each ensemble is approximated as a single function of depth, with a
zero-average over a reference layer plus a reference layer velocity
for each ping. Adding the average of the single-ping reference layer
velocities to the function of depth yields the ensemble-average
velocity profile. These averaged profiles, along with ancillary
measurements, are written to disk, and subsequently loaded into the
CODAS database. Everything after this stage is \"post-processing\".
note (time):
------------
Time is stored in the database using UTC Year, Month, Day, Hour,
Minute, Seconds. Floating point time \"Decimal Day\" is the floating
point interval in days since the start of the year, usually the year
of the first day of the cruise.
note (heading):
---------------
CODAS processing uses heading from a reliable device, and (if
available) uses a time-dependent correction by an accurate heading
device. The reliable heading device is typically a gyro compass (for
example, the Bridge gyro). Accurate heading devices can be POSMV,
Seapath, Phins, Hydrins, MAHRS, or various Ashtech devices; this
varies with the technology of the time. It is always confusing to
keep track of the sign of the heading correction. Headings are written
degrees, positive clockwise. setting up some variables:
X = transducer angle (CONFIG1_heading_bias)
positive clockwise (beam 3 angle relative to ship)
G = Reliable heading (gyrocompass)
A = Accurate heading
dh = G - A = time-dependent heading correction (ANCIL2_watrk_hd_misalign)
Rotation of the measured velocities into the correct coordinate system
amounts to (u+i*v)*(exp(i*theta)) where theta is the sum of the
corrected heading and the transducer angle.
theta = X + (G - dh) = X + G - dh
Watertrack and Bottomtrack calibrations give an indication of the
residual angle offset to apply, for example if mean and median of the
phase are all 0.5 (then R=0.5). Using the \"rotate\" command,
the value of R is added to \"ANCIL2_watrk_hd_misalign\".
new_dh = dh + R
Therefore the total angle used in rotation is
new_theta = X + G - dh_new
= X + G - (dh + R)
= (X - R) + (G - dh)
The new estimate of the transducer angle is: X - R
ANCIL2_watrk_hd_misalign contains: dh + R

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
selection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
Tabledap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/tabledap/pmelTaoDySst.htmlTable?longitude,latitude,time,station,wmo_platform_code,T_25&time>=2015-05-23T12:00:00Z&time<=2015-05-31T12:00:00Z
Thus, the query is often a comma-separated list of desired variable names,
followed by a collection of
constraints (e.g., variable<value),
each preceded by '&' (which is interpreted as "AND").
For details, see the tabledap Documentation.
