[glider] = glider_build(glider_dir)
[glider] = glider_build(glider_dir,variable_list)[glider] = glider_build(glider_dir,variable_list) loads data (a single netCDF file downloaded from gliders.ioos.us/erddap) from glider_dir into struct array glider. Glider profiles are loaded with all variables specified in variable_list.
The only required argument is glider_dir. By default, the following variables are loaded:
'profile_id'
'time'
'latitude'
'longitude'
'precise_time'
'depth'
'pressure'
'temperature'
'conductivity'
'salinity'
'density'
'precise_lat'
'precise_lon'
'time_uv'
'lat_uv',
'lon_uv'
'u'
'v'
This default list can be overridden by passing a user-defined variable_list, a cell array where each element is the string name of a variable.
glider_dir is a character array search path to a single netcdf file downloaded from gliders.ioos.us/erddap). The path should be the path to the netcdf file itself, not its directory.
% Get variable information:
glider_dir = '/Users/lnferris/Desktop/ce_311-20170725T1930.nc'; % included
ncdisp(glider_dir) % Peek at netCDF header info to inform choice of variable_list.
% Load glider data:
[glider] = glider_build(glider_dir);
% Make plots:
figure
general_map(glider,bathymetry_dir)
figure
general_section(glider,'salinity','km','pressure')
