Significance of the File
Adcp_profile.dat contains the data of one ADCP moving ship profile.
File-Contents (in Catchwords)
Each profile consists of several ensembles, each containing the values of one water column.
- header lines describing the profile
- timezone
- start time of profile
- end time of profile
- water-level at the mean time
- physical quantities of the data lines (name and unit)
- number of depth layers
- number of ensembles
- data lines describing the ensembles; the ensembles are seperated by semicolons
- Gauss-Krueger coordinates of each ADCP ensemble
- depth relativ to the surface (mean value of all four beams)
- measurement time (ADCP-clock)
- ensemble number
- time since start in seconds
- extrapolated discharge in the top cell [m**3/s];
sign is relativ to the direction of the moving ship - extrapolated discharge in the bottom cell [m**3/s]
- integrated discharge in an ADCP ensemble including measured cells, top and bottom cells [m**3/s]
- lines with the mean depth of a cell relativ to the surface and values of the physical quantities defined in the header; cells with no values or incorrect values are represented by a null value (normally 9999)
Notice: The header lines are analysed by the methods of the dictionary module. Therefore the dictionary-file adcp_profile_dico.dat is automatically read. It is present in directory $PROGHOME/dic/ .
