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 Opens internal link in current windowData 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 Initiates file downloadOcean Data View (ODV) from the Pan2Applic options. Be carefull that the Initiates file downloadODV options point on the ODV program installed on your computer.
  • Pan2Applic opens a Initiates file downloadparameter 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 Initiates file downloadData 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 Initiates file downloadreverse option of the y-Variable.
