LADCP processing recipe#

🚧 Very tentative and under development - to be filled out and synced with a template repository

1. Download the required software#

  • Download/clone the LDEO_IX Matlab software package from Github.

    • This contains the Matlab scripts for LADCP processing for horizontal ocean velocities.

  • Download/clone the Matlab tidal model driver TMD.

    • Note that this is version 2.5. There is a more recent version 3.0, and also the python implementation pyTMD. For now, we use TMD2.0 purely because that was used in inherited scripts.

  • Download the Tidal model (link to cats2008 here? Or maybe even better to use cats2008_23).

  • Add the base directory of LDEO_IX and TMD2 to your Matlab path.

    • Open Matlab

    • E.g.: addpath path/to/LDEO_IX.

    • savepath to permanently add the path.

2. Clone the template for LADCP processing#

  • (Feel free to build this yourself).

  • Rename folder

3. Populate the folder with LADCP files#

4. Reprocess CTD data to 1 Hz#

Probably include this in the template. Will need instructions on modifying files.

5. Change set_cast_params#

6. Change process_ladcp#

7. Run process_ladcp#

8. Run detide#

9. Checks etc#
