Data Products

  • Added support for more complex calibration information, which is needed for icListen AF hydrophones in order to generate spectrograms.
  • Added support for interleaved dual frequency data for Nortek Signature 55 data products.
  • Added support for AZFP Echosounders, to account for the mounting height of transducers
  • Data Search and Data Preview plots now include additional information when the "Average" or "Min/Max + Avg" option is chosen. The data rating (how often the data is collected) as well as the averaging interval is now displayed.
  • Data Preview now shows Kongsberg rotary sonar daily plots.
  • Hydrophone spectrograms are now available for all hydrophones that use FFT format.
  • The Kongsberg SMB data product has been improved.

...

  • Implemented data access agreements, similar to what was added a few months ago to Data Search.
    • Access agreements are controlled by the Data Product Permissions tab in User Management
    • Access to hydrophone data can be embargoed for a certain date range, or its access can be delayed until it is older than a certain value that can be defined.
  • Added a choice of displaying spectrograms produced from WAV files or FFT files (depending on the type of hydrophone).
  • Added the ability to specify a date range to view spectrograms. They are still displayed one day at a time but if you use the Next and Previous features it will automatically skip over dates that have no data.
  • Added a number of annotation-related features:
    • Ability to display the number of hydrophone annotations that apply to each spectrogram time period, with a hyperlink to open a table to view those annotations
    • Ability to view all the hydrophone annotations for the currently displayed day.
    • Ability to filter the annotations being viewed to show only those containing a specified text string.
    • Ability to export the displayed annotations to a CSV file.
    • Ability to search a range of dates and only show spectrograms that have been annotated with a specified text string (this filters the spectrograms and other data, as opposed to the feature above that only filters the table of annotations).

Miscellaneous

  • On the Device Details page, main tab, a link has been added called Instrument Point People Group. It lists who from each department is responsible for that instrument.
  • State of the Environment plots are now updated automatically using a recurring scheduled job.
  • Added support for the Campbell Sci Data logger to be installed on ferries.
  • Added support for the Pump and Valve Control System (PVCS) for the ferries.
  • Added support for autonomous temperature sensors to be used at Endeavour.
  • Created a page in Oceans 2.0 (not in oceannetworks.ca) to display real time data for the Campbell River Maritime Heritage Museum. This includes the latest underwater video and sensor readings.
  • Continued development of methods to search for data programmatically, including methods to discover where data of a certain type exists if you are not already familiar with ONC's instruments and their locations. This feature is still under development.

...

  • Added the option to view FFT-generated spectrograms (called "Broadband Spectrogram" in the Plot drop-down list) where they exist (does not apply to all makes of hydrophones).
  • Added the option to view SPD (spectral probability density) spectrograms although they will not be available until later.
  • Improved the annotation feature on this page so that a table of annotations that apply to a given spectrogram can be displayed if there is more than one. The list can then be filtered by specifying a text string to filter on, and the table can be exported to a CSV file.

Miscellaneous

  • Added deep links to the Data Monitoring tool (in Device Console) so that results can be shared.
  • On the Camera page, the Presets section was removed as cameras can now be controlled using SeaScript.
  • Improved the Data Product Permissions tab in User Management to better support the administration of data access permissions. For example if the list of access rules is large, it will automatically paginate which greatly improves the speed of opening a large group.
  • Started development of the Kalman Filter algorithm for Earthquake Early Warning. This filter and other code will allow us to use data from GPS sensors that will be installed on the land sites in order to improve our earthquake magnitude estimates.
  • Continued development of methods to search for data programmatically, including methods to discover where data of a certain type exists if you are not already familiar with ONC's instruments and their locations. This feature is still under development.
