Data Search and Data Products
- A new "Sort by" option has been added, called "Variables by Location". Some refer to this as a "primary sensor" search and is the same feature that was added to Plotting Utility a couple of months ago. You first select a location, then a variable (for example an ocean property such as Salinity). If there is more than one sensor at that location that can measure the same property, the sensor defined as the "primary sensor" will be used. This is the sensor that is the most accurate of the sensors available. It is possible that the primary sensor can change over the time range of a data product; the primary sensors used and their corresponding date ranges are listed in the metadata report as well as in the header of the data product or as colours in plots. NOTE THAT THIS FEATURE WILL AVAILABLE IN A FEW DAYS; THIS NOTE WILL BE UPDATED AT THAT TIME.
- Search results will now remain in the search cart ("Step 3") for 14 days, after which they will automatically be removed from the cart. This matches the changes to the FTP storage made in the January 5 release.
- Imagenex 881a ".81a" plots, PNG plots, and .mat data products are now oriented with the seabed at the bottom.
- The ADCP (both RDI and Nortek) Daily Current Plot (PNG) now has options for the horizontal and vertical plot limits, ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 m/s, or automatic. This allows plots from different devices to be more easily compared.
Miscellaneous
- Improved the way Device IDs are used during dive logging.
...
- Inactive locations are no longer visible on the Data Preview tree.
Data Search and Data Products
- Data product search results will now be available for 14 days rather than 7 days, but only in the FTP folder (see the More directory). Currently the results in the search cart are still only available for 7 days but this will increase to 14 days in a later release.
- Made some changes to allow Data Search and other features to work for users in China. It will not appear exactly the same as it does in other countries (for instance there will be no map) but it is functional.
- Improved the rendering of hydrophone spectrograms to reduce distortion.
Improvements to hydrophone spectral probability density plots – limits, colours and scaling.
