Short Description of Functionality

The application plotProfilZeit can be used to display data on profiles and time. Data can also be based on profiles in terms of adjascent control volumes.

plotProfilZeit is the predecessor of DISPLAY_PERCENTILES und DISPLAY_HOVMOELLER. DISPLAY_PERCENTILES and DISPLAY_HOVMOELLER had previously been developed to display data along a profile. However, both used the same data types and were different only in the way they presented the data. Therefore, to simplify application maintenance, both functionalities were incorporated into one application, plotProfilZeit. DISPLAY_PERCENTILES is still available, but will not be further developed. DISPLAY_HOVMOELLER not available anymore.

Possible ways to display data:

Type = Hovmoeller: Data is displayed along the profile (x-axis) and along time (y-axis), by means of a hovmoeller plot.
Type = Percentiles: Temporal variation of values on a profile can be shown by giving an average value (e. g. as a black solid line) and a confidence interval (grey area in background).
Type = Allevents: All timesteps are being displayed as single lines.
Type = Multidata: All events are displayed as single lines in the same graph.

Input formats:

Input_Format = Xtrdata: Output of XTRDATA, available as single events along a profile, format being excel.dat
Input_Format = CVMesh2 for Netcdf analysis results fuer Netcdf as well as aggregated but not analysed simulation results
Input_Format = Mesh1 for Netcdf simulation output on profiles (DATACONVERT result of BDF profile file)
Input_Format = Mesh0 for Netcdf results on profiles (Profile output of UnTRIM2009)

Error handling: In contrast to the prior version, this program does not yet include a check of the steering file by Fortran-Modul dictionary_ui. Therefore, wrong keywords can lead to uncontrolled crashes withou understandable error messages.

Input-Files

Steering file (example in $PROGHOME/examples/plotProfilZeit, type plotProfilZeit_steer.dat)
UNTRIM results in above mentioned formats.

Output-Files

Figures (*.pdf, *.png, *.eps or *.fig)
Excel sheet (optional)

Methodology

Visualization with MATLAB.
Further, some statistic values are calculated by the program in case of Type = Percentiles. This used the following Matlab functions:

percentiles: prctile
mean: nanmean (nan meaning that NaNs are not taken into account)
median: nanmedian
maximum: nanmax
minimum: nanmin
