Displaying 2-dimensional profiles
- Install Ocean Data View (Latest ODV4.XX Version) on your local machine.
- Install Pan2Applic on your local machine. A link to Pan2Applic on your desktop is helpful.
- Download the time series you want to visualize as tab-delimeted text files (e.g. "GVN_radiosonde_2012-01.tab" till "GVN_radiosonde_2012-12.tab") on your desktop. You may do this file by file or using the
Data Warehouse.
- In case you use the Data Warehouse select Date/Time as the first parameter and do not forget to select Latitude and Longitude. Otherwise ODV cannot display whole profiles but only single datapoints
- Drag the icon(s) of these files on the link of Pan2Applic which will start automatically.
- Convert the datasets selecting
Ocean Data View (ODV) from the Pan2Applic options. Be carefull that the
ODV options point on the ODV program installed on your computer.
- Pan2Applic opens a
parameter select box. To select all data push the lower left bottom "Select data (2)".
- Additionally ODV needs the parameters Latitude and Longitude from the metadata. In case you used the Data Warehouse, Latitude and Longitude should be part of "Select data (2)".
- Do not select Date/Time as parameter from the metadata!
- After the data conversion (press OK), ODV should open automatically.
- Select View>LayoutTemplates>1 SCATTER Window in ODV and a scatter diagram will open.
- A right click in this diagram opens the
Data Plot Menu where you can choose the variables, ranges etc. as you like .
- Since ODV is primarily made for oceanic data the y-axis (altitude) is reversed. You may want to uncheck the
reverse option of the y-Variable.
