...

  • The ZAP/ASL Echosounder daily plots now also show the sun elevation plot.

 

...

  • elevation of the sun (derived).
  • Added an animated display of CODAR (surface current) data for the following new sites:
    • Prince Rupert (Chatham Sound)
    • Georgina Point on Mayne Island (Strait of Georgia)
    • Point Atkinson at North Vancouver (Strait of Georgia)

Data Search

  • Added an animated display (GIF) data product for CODAR data for new sites (see Data Preview).

 

Miscellaneous

  • Added a new tool called Data Monitoring on the Admin menu (available only when logged in). This produces reports that indicate how many data samples were expected for each instrument on a given day, and how many were actually received and archived.

...

  • Created wave data plots and MAT file data products for the Nortek AWAC at the FORCE observatory (Atlantic). This includes wave height, wave period, and wave direction. These are available in Data Preview and Data Search in Oceans 2.0 as well as on the Installations page in oceannetworks.ca.
  • When creating data searches, removed the option to select only the sensors that are used for State of the Environment plots.
  • Updated matlab to R2014a to enable Video QAQC. Bonus: all matlab processing should be about 30% faster.
  • Added a prototype version of a Data Monitoring page for the Data team (Admin menu).
  • Added more calibration information to spectrograms, added calibration text files to hydrophone WAV file searches

Miscellaneous

  • Updated OpenDAP to use ERRDAP version 1.68
  • Added support for adding new ERDDAP dataset definition
  • Added support for controlling access to certain data in cases where there is a data ownership agreement. Note that this is not fully implemented yet, just the underlying framework.
  • Added data acquisition for the SIMBA Ice Mass Buoy near Cambridge Bay
  • Refactored the dive log entries to use the existing annotation system. This will make the data centralized and easier to manage.

...

  • Performed maintenance on the Data Preview tree to remove sensors inappropriate in this context, and to add new sensors for the Atlantic observatory.
  • Refactored the way the Data Preview tree is pruned to show only certain devices and sensors. This is in preparation for a user interface that will allow internal users to manage the tree more easily in the future.

Miscellaneous

  • SeaScript scheduled jobs now support multiple scripts to control multiple devices that use the same control schedule.
  • Tested many devices before they were deployed to the new Smart Oceans sites (Campbell River, Prince Rupert, Kitamaat)
  • All servers are now running OSGi model (Open Services Gateway initiative) software.
  • Added a QAQC test runner job that runs QAQC on demand or on a schedule. This will allow us to run tests that use a large cache of data (Hampel filter tests, spike, gradient, etc.).
  • Added infrastructure for video QAQC (available soon).
  • Various improvements to scalar data products

...

  • It is now possible to annotate any branch of the Data Preview tree including search tree nodes, devices, and sensors. This is useful for posting status messages in the Data Preview display area. The usual data-related annotations will not appear.
    • When creating an annotation, select the search tree node, device, or sensor you want it to apply to. Note that the annotation will also appear on every branch below the one you annotate.
    • Select "Shared", and fill out the Data Preview comment section.
    • Select an appropriate date range. Note that the date range controls when the annotation appears. It relates to the date range of the data you are viewing. For example if the annotation applied for one day two weeks ago, it will not appear in the Day tab but will appear in the Month tab. The Summary tab shows all applicable annotations regardless of date range.
    • To cancel the annotation, either delete it (there is a link to it titled "More" where the annotation appears) or select a Date To in the past.
  • Added data preview plots for the inshore profiler in Saanich Inlet.

Miscellaneous

  • Sensor names can now be 50 characters long.
  • Improved the code that parses the data from the Jason ROV navigation device.
  • Improved the driver for the FORCE (Atlantic) RBR tide guage.
  • Added a parser for the Hecules ROV navigation device.
  • Started to convert the Oceans 2.0 software to the OSGi model (Open Services Gateway initiative). This will make the code more modular and will help to reduce the number of bugs in future.

...

  • You can now open the Data Preview tree to any location or device or sensor, select the URL, and give that to someone else (for example) who can then automatically open Data Preview at this same location, including which tab you have selected (Summary, Day, or Month).
  • Removed devices from the tree that are not currently deployed and added devices that are deployed but that had been missing from the tree.

Miscellaneous

  • Improved the way Device IDs are used during dive logging.

...

  • "Station" QAQC tests now automatically also apply to all child nodes under those stations. This also applies to all new data for these child nodes even if the station test was created before this new feature was added.
  • The new "region" QAQC test results now have priority over "station" test results.

Miscellaneous

  • Improvements to file postprocessing infrastructure to reduce data processing backlogs and maintain better near live data, particularly for hydrophone spectrograms.
