This data product is used for displaying profile data in a community orientated format. A profile is a series of measurements made throughout the water column grouped by each pass through the water, known as a 'cast', as opposed to continuous time series data. Profiles of the water column can be created by performing casts with instruments. Casts involve lowering an instrument down into the water and back up again while it is making measurements. Cast detection or delineation is performed automatically with manual oversight, contact us for further details. The measurements from the various sensors attached to and within the instrument are processed to filter, smooth, align, and average data into depth bins. Information about the data processing applied is included in the comment of the data product. Specifically, the default processing steps are:

This data product is very similar to the Cast Profile plots, documented here: 56. The major difference is that each profile within the image is for one cast and one sensor. This data product is currently constrained to aligned and depth binned sensors on Community Fishers casting devices (CTD, oxygen sensor, fluorometer), and will only display the four major ocean properties: Temperature, Practical Salinity, Chlorophyll and Oxygen Saturation. An example of a Cast Scalar Multi-ProfilePplot is available belowProfilePlot can be seen below as figure 1.

If the requested search range does not contain any data a plot is created with "Missing Data Detected" displayed in each profile plot. These "Missing Data Detected" plots are generated for each deployment in the search range. An example of this type of missing data plot can be seen below as figure 2.

This data product is available in both PNG and PDF formats. If PDF is selected all plots created in one search will be collated into one PDF document, PNG format does not collate, the plots remain separate files.

Data Product Options

There are two data product option sets for this data product when creating device level searches. These options that are always selected, these options are shown to represent the processing that is always applied to this data product and are therefore always selected. There are currently no dataproduct options for this dataproduct when creating sensor level searches.

Device-level options.
