Most of the plots and statistical analysis done for this report were created using Matlab
software, created by Mathworks (www.mathworks.com
). Plots were converted to tagged PDF format using
Adobe (www.adobe.com) Acrobat.
DISCLAIMER: The Matlab m-files provide partial documentation of the techniques used
to create the analyses and plots in this report. The m-files are not turn-key programs and
are not supported by their creator or by USGS.
This code was designed
to run on Matlab 6.0 with NetCDF installed. Users are encouraged to look at
http://woodshole.er.usgs.gov/staffpages/cdenham/public_html/ for more information about the
NetCDF format.
adcp_contour: Creates the contour plots of the
ADCP data from all depths. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
adcp_deep: Creates a table of the depth of the deepest ADCP bin available for each deployment.
adcp_ell_plots: Creates the plots of the principal axes
data by month for the ADCP. (See"Mean Flow".)
adcp_ell_tables: Creates tables of the principal axes
data by month for the ADCP. (See"Principal Axes".)
adcp_scat_plots: Creates scatter plots of the
principal axes data for the ADCP. (See"Scatter Plots".)
adcp_vpv: Program to convert the ADCP current data into .vel files for use with the USGS Velocity Profile Viewer. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
adcp_whisk: Creates whisker plots of the ADCP data from select depths. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
anglextocompass: Converts angles measured in degrees
counterclockwise from east to degrees clockwise from north.
archive_mblt: Scans the data directories and creates
a matlab file containing information about the data files.
attn: Creates plots of the beam attenuation data
. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
binsort: Sorts information into specified bins, such as
sorting current into speed and direction bins.
compare_sites: Creates plots comparing the monthly mean and
variability of wind stress, surface current at sites A and B, and standard deviation of pressure. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
attn: Creates plots of the data available at each site
over time
. (See
"Data Available".)
master_mblt: The primary m-file used to run other
individual commands for creating this report.
mblt_windstress: Calculates the wind stress
from NOAA Buoy 44013
wind speed data.
mixed_plot: Creates a plot of significant wave height,
beam attenuation, sediment trapping rate, current speed, and bottom pressure from Site A.
(see "Time Series Plots".)
monthly_stats: Calculates the monthly statistics
of meteorological and oceanographic observations. (See
"Statistics".)
monthly_stats2: Continuation of "monthly_stats.m",
which was getting to large and unwieldy. (See
"Statistics".)
monthly_stats_rivers: Calculates the monthly statistics
of river streamflow observations. (See
"Statistics".)
pcm_ell_plots: Creates the plots of the principal axes
data by month for the point current meters. (See "Mean Flow".)
pcm_ell_tables: Creates the tables of the principal axes
data by month for the point current meters. (See "Principal Axes".)
pcm_scat_plots: Creates scatter plots of the
principal axes data for the point current meters. (See "Scatter Plots".)
pcm_whisk: Creates whisker plots of the point current meter
data. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
pres_plot: Creates plots of the pressure data
. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
river_ts: Creates plots of the salinity, temperature, and
river discharge data. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
sed_trap: Creates plots of the trapping rate from
the tube sediment traps by year. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
sed_trap_2: Creates plots of the trapping rate from
the tube and time series sediment traps from all years. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
sed_trap_month: Creates plots and tables of the time
series sediment trap data, sorted by month and year. (See
"Monthly Statistics".)
show_filters: Plots the filter weights for the PL33 low-pass
filter and plots the filter in frequency space. (See
"Data Processing".)
singlejd: Converts two component julian date measurements
into one component julian date.
smart_interp: A data interpolation routine modified
from the Mathworks "interp1.m" command. This code separates the data into chunks based
on gaps in the original time series to prevent linear interpolation over large data gaps.
smart_interp_pres: Similar to the "smart_interp.m"
command, but the mean of each data chunk is removed.
sort_currents: Sorts currents into speed and direction using
binsort.m. (See "Currents Sorted By Speed and Direction".)
tides: Performs all of the tidal analysis. (See "Tidal Analysis".)
uvtospdir: Converts U and V components of a vector in
speed and direction measured counterclockwise from east.
value2index: Determines the index of the point in a series
numerically closest to a given target value.
weath_plot: Creates plots of various meteorological data
. (See
"Time Series Plots".)
write_vpv: A subcall of
adcp_vpv.
