For Cast Scalar Multi-Profile Plot and Aligned and Depth-Binned Profile Data (On-Demand) data products on Conductivity Temperature Depth devices
Cast Processing Bin Size With No Binning Option
Selecting non-default values forCast Processing Bin Size will result in Aligned and Depth Binned data being calculated on the fly from cleaned raw data and will take longer to generate a data product as a result. Files that contain data calculated on the fly will have "-onTheFly" in their filename, and the ProcessingDate header information will be the time of file generation in UTC. For files calculated on the fly with no binning selected then the column labels will contain "aligned" after the sensor name. For files calculated on the fly with binning selected the column labels will contain "aligned and depth-binned" after the sensor name.
This data product option controls the size of the bins the data is averaged into in meters. The default bin size is one-meter bins. Data is only averaged into its corresponding bin if the number of data points within the bounds of a bin with a QAQC flag of 1 meets the percent acceptance threshold (the default percent acceptance value is 70%). The bin size can be user set between zero meters to ten meters. The "No Binning" option can also be selected which will result in the data not being averaged.
For example, a bin size of 2 meters will have bin bounds from 1m to 3m, 3m to 5m, 5m to 7m, etc. The data within these depth bounds are averaged into one value if the percent acceptance threshold is met, which places the averaged values at 2m, 4m, 6m, etc.
Default - Oceans 3.0 API filter: dpo_binSize=-1
No Binning - Oceans 3.0 API filter: dpo_binSize=-2
Configurable Bin Size - Oceans 3.0 API filter: dpo_binSize=0 to dpo_binSize=10
