Short Description of Functionality

Program NCANALYSE serves as an analysis program for data stored in CF netCDF data files.

Input-Files

1. general input data (file type ncanalyse.dat)
2. synoptic data sets (file type CF-NETCDF.NC)

Output-Files

1. data analysis result files (file type CF-NETCDF.NC)
2. (optional) informative printer file of program execution (file type ncanalyse.sdr)
3. (optional) trace of program execution (file type ncanalyse.trc)

Methodology

The following data analysis methods are currently available:

• Tidal Characteristic Numbers:
  1. Tidal Characteristic Numbers of Water Level;
  2. Tidal Characteristic Numbers of Current;
  3. Tidal Characteristic Numbers of Salinity.
• Tide-Independent Characteristic Numbers:
  1. Characteristic Numbers of Water Level (independent of tides);
  2. Characteristic Numbers of Current Velocity (independent of tides);
  3. Characteristic Numbers of Salinity (independent of tides).
• Tide-Independent Characteristic Numbers for Transport-Processes:
  1. Characteristic Numbers of Water Transport (independent of tides);
  2. Characteristic Numbers of Water Transport (independent of tides);
  3. Characteristic Numbers of Salt Transport (independent of tides);
  4. Characteristic Numbers of Heat Transport (independent of tides);
  5. Characteristic Numbers of Tracer Transport (independent of tides);
  6. Characteristic Numbers of Suspended Sediment Transport (independent of tides).
• Tidal Energy Transport:
  1. Characteristic Numbers of Tidal Energy Transport
