Versions Compared

Key

  • This line was added.
  • This line was removed.
  • Formatting was changed.

...

  • Made improvements to the driver for the RBRduo Temperature Depth Logger for FORCE
  • Wrote a driver and parser for the SAMI pH sensor to be deployed at Cambridge Bay
  • Now have the ability to acquire and parse navigation data from the Oceanic Explorer ROV

WARN (Web-enabled Awareness Research Network)

  • Out of range values for Pd and Tau, the two parameters sent by the accelerometers that are used to compute the epicentre location, are now automatically rejected.

 

Miscellaneous

  • SeaScribe and SeaTube now support multiple cameras.
  • Created the scalardata web service so external users can access all scalar data.
  • Added the ability to monitor and control Serial Control Units (SCUs) using Device Console. Plus SCU alarms now send SNMP traps.
  • Created Wiring the Abyss pages on oceannetworks.ca for the upcoming dives.
  • Modified the scalardata web service to use sensorcodename rather than sensorcode.

For more details see the internal release notes (restricted access): 2015-09-02 Release Notes

...

  • The Wiring the Abyss pages now support multiple simultaneous cruises and dives.

WARN (Web-enabled Awareness Research Network)

  • The CAP messages for earthquake and tsunami notification now include a digital signature. The client API verifies that the signature is present and valid before it will act on notifications.
  • The API and sample client now display the distance from the user to the epicentre, in km.

...

  • Made most features available without having to log in. This can be accessed from oceannetworks.ca via the Video page on Sights & Sounds. The following features still require logging in:
    • adding, deleting or editing an annotation
    • creating a playlist
    • taking snapshots

WARN (Web-enabled Awareness Research Network)

  • Created a Java API for users who wish to subscribe to and receive earthquake and/or tsunami notifications on their PC to compute time-to-shaking and shaking intensity.
  • Wrote client software that uses the API and displays notifications on a console, as an example of how the API can be used by clients.
  • Improved the earthquake notification messages to add the number of sensors that contributed to each detection and notification.

...

  • Added a new feature - "Sort by: Primary Sensor". See Data Search above (currently disabled).
  • Developed a new version of Plotting Utility where most features can be accessed without needing to have an account or having to log in. This is linked to the oceannetworks.ca website from the Preview & Download page (under Data & Tools). All the usual features will work except for the following:
    • Details, Docs, and Download Data links
    • Saving plots

 

WARN (Web-enabled Awareness Research Network)

  • Finished thoroughly testing the Earthquake Correlator and fixing all issues that were found.

...

  • Modified the way data can be manually flagged as good or bad - what we call the "manual QA/QC process". The process is now simpler and more foolproof in that if you need to change the flags on data that already has QA/QC flags, you merely have to state what new flags you want and what time ranges they apply to. You don't have to concern yourself about the state of existing flags when creating your manual QA/QC file.
  • It is now possible to flag data as bad as soon as the data is received - ie. automatically. This is useful if it is known that the instrument is not performing correctly.

WARN (Web-enabled Awareness Research Network)

  • Completed the web service support for CANARIE. This was the final piece to complete the NEP-105 CANARIE-supported project (however additional WARN development is taking place under a new project). The web service confirms to CANARIE that WARN is operational and reports the number of earthquakes and tsunamis reported in the past 24 hours. It also provides CANARIE with links to documentation on the project.
  • Implemented a server "push" notification method to notify external clients of earthquakes and tsunamis. Later an example client application will be developed to demonstrate how this system works, and to provide a template for users who wish to develop their own client application.

...

  • It is now possible to select an instrument for searching data by clicking on it on the Data Search map or in the usual way using the search tree.
  • Modified the metadata reports to show the full path for hyperlinks so this information would not be lost if the report was printed.
  • Removed the Network Topology "Sort by" option from Data Search.
  • Made the initial changes to support a new header format for the CSV data product.
  • Improvements for Nortek ADCP data products: more information within the .mat file products on what was done to the data, improved handling of mobile data, particularly headings and rotations.

WARN (Web-enabled Awareness Research Network)

  • Added a web service so that CANARIE can confirm that WARN is operational.
  • Completed most of the work for the earthquake detection correlator.
