1 April 2015
Data Search and Data Products
- We now handle null site positions and mobile position offsets in data products.
Instruments
- Upgraded to handle new sensors and new data format for Ocean Sonics AF and HF hydrophones.
- New calibration formulas for the second generation SIIMs.
- Now parsing the State of Health (SOH) data from seismometers.
Miscellaneous
- Now tracking activity on the login and registration pages with Google Analytics so we can learn about problems our users may be having in these areas.

Data Search and Data Products
- You are now able to zoom in on the Data Search map as far as Google Maps allows.
- Improved the performance of obtaining device information once you have selected a device in Data Search.
- Completely overhauled the header of CSV files to give more information and to make it consistent regardless of which network the instrument is located on. Also modified the format of the timestamp in the data area to make it more readable.
Digital Fishers
- Modified the code to return to the default video playback behaviour in preparation for a new campaign. The only exception is that clips in the new campaign, like the old one, play for 60 seconds rather than 15 seconds.
- Modified the tutorial graphics at all levels to show specific sea life examples for the new campaign.
- Modified the annotation choices for the new campaign.
- Deployed the new campaign called "Feeding Deep Sea Critters" on February 26, 2015.
OPeNDAP
- Parsed RDI ADCP data is now available using ERDDAP. See OPeNDAP Web Services on the Tools menu.
- Made is easier for ONC data stewards to configure ERDDAP data sets.
- Made it easier to maintain ONC sensor mappings to CF standards.
Miscellaneous
- The hydrophone viewer now has additional choices for annotating marine mammals - northern right whale dolphin, Baird's beaked whale, and Cuvier's beaked whale
- Made the Citizen Scientist app more reliable.
- Merged the SoH (State of Health) seismometer FTP jobs and made the job configurable so that one job could be used for all current and future SoH seismometers.
- In Device Console, made the list of Junction Boxes and SIIMs more descriptive, added Oceanworks devices, and sorted the list by site.
- Created an FTP job for downloading data from the Queen of Oak Bay ferry.
- Implemented a server notification method for WARN (Web-enabled Awareness Research Network) in order to notify external users of earthquakes and tsunamis.
3 February 2015
Data Search and Data Products
- 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.
Miscellaneous
- Increased the number of daily "casts" (down-up transits) of the Buoy Profiling System in Saanich Inlet from 2 to 4.
- Added the ability to control the new camera system at Brentwood College (Mill Bay site).
- Digital Fishers code was modified to support changes for the upcoming campaign titled "Feeding Critters".
Internal
- Added support for Google Universal Analytics
- Modified the way quarter scalar data is generated in order to improve reliability and speed.
- Wrote a driver for the Sea-Bird Microcat SBE37SMP-ODO and Nortek AWAC which will be deployed at the FORCE observatory in the Bay of Fundy.
- Added support for VENUS SIIM devices on the Junction Box Alarm Settings page.
- Wrote a parser for the RBR Concerto device used in the Citizen Scientist project so that data can be viewed with Plotting Utility.
