Data Products

Here's the place to learn and talk about our data products – both current and future.

Featured Data Product

RDI ADCP 15-Minute Ensemble-Averaged Time Series data is now available in MATLAB MATv7 format.


Conventions

Timestamps: Timestamps are always in UTC and follow the ISO8601 convention: yyyymmddTHHMMSS.FFFZ. In some cases, the millisecond portion is omitted.

Filenames: For an instrument type search, files are named as DEVICECODE_SENSORCODE_yyyymmddTHHMMSSZ-MODE.EXT where

  • DEVICECODE is a string unique to each instrument
  • SENSORCODE is a string unique to each sensor, and is only included if a single-sensor data product was requested.
  • yyyymmddTHHMMSSZ is the timestamp (ISO8601 format) which represents the initial time for data in the file
  • MODE is optional text which allows files to be differentiated, as necessary, when they refer to the same device and share the same extension
  • EXT is the file extension.

For location search, files are named as STATIONNAME_DEVICECATEGORY(DEVICEID)_yyyymmddTHHMMSSZ-MODE.EXT where

  • STATIONNAME is the station name
  • DEVICECATEGORY is the device category, such as 'CTD'. That alone may not be unique, so (DEVICEID) is used to differentiate the devices.
  • yyyymmddTHHMMSSZ is the timestamp (ISO8601 format) which represents the initial time for data in the file
  • MODE is optional text which allows files to be differentiated, as necessary, when they refer to the same device and share the same extension
  • EXT is the file extension.
