This software suite is designed to process Rockland Scientific turbulence devices.

The input data is .P files from Rockland device(s).
The outputs include:

• Trimmed .P files when the final buffers are corrupt.
• Combined .P files for files what were ended due a file size constraint.
• The output of odas_p2mat for each .P file.
• For the profiles, either in depth or time:
  • The profiles within each .P file.
    • The FP07 sensor data is adjusted in time to match shear probe data using a cross correlation.
    • If a temperature reference exists, such as JAC_T, using all the profiles in this .P file:
      • The temperature reference data is shifted in time to match the shear probe data.
      • An in-situ calibration for each FP07 sensor is done against the temperature reference.
    • If a conductivity reference exists, such as JAC_C, it is adjusted in time to match the temperature reference using a cross correlation.
    • If a GPS reference exists, please see GPS details for how the GPS fix is attached to the profile.
  • Binned profile scalar data, in either depth or time, for each .P file.
  • Combined binned scalar data for all the .P files.
• For dissipation:
  • Dissipation estimates are calculated for each profile.
  • Binned dissipation estimates, in either depth or time, for all the profiles in a .P file.
  • Combinned binned dissipation estimates for all the .P files.
• For scalars, such as JAC_T, JAC_C, Chlorophyll, ...:
  • Time binned scalar data for the entire .P file, i.e. not just during profiles.
  • If a GPS reference exists, please see GPS details for how the GPS fix is attached to the profile.
  • Combined time binned scalar data for all the .P files.
