Data Product Options

Formats

The CODAR data availability plots are processed on-the-fly from the source RUV files (from CODAR stations with radial surface velocities). The formats are described below. All of these data products have _Availability added near the end of their filenames, in addition to the _CLEAN and break mode modifier as described in the data product options section above. 

PNG and PDF plots

PNG and PDF files contain a graphic representation of both station radial and combined total velocities, depending on what device/station the data product was requested fromStation files with radial currents end in the four letter CODAR site code (e.g. -VCOL_Availbility_CLEAN), while the combined files (with total velocities) end in -TOTALS_CLEAN. The PDF variant bundles all the PNGs (up to a file size limit) in a single vector-graphics PDF with a filename corresponding to the extents of the PNGs. Breaks between plots are determined by the File / Plot breaks option described above.
