1. NAME plotssp - Plot corrected speed of sound 2. USAGE plotssp 3. DESCRIPTION This Matlab scripts makes a plot of the speed of sound vs. time. The input file must contain the following columns: 1. Profile time in decimal days 2. Speed of sound 4. PARAMETERS The following parameters must be edited: ssp_file Name of input data file. plot_title Title for plot. year_base Base year used in input file. const_ssp Constant speed of sound used. Since all VM-ADCP encountered until now are not equipped with a CTD,I dont configure the aquisiton software for speed of sound correction as a function of temperature',but use a contsant value. Corrections are carried out during post-processing,together with CTD data. This constant value will be plotted together with the speed of sound. 5. FILES o plotssp.ps 6.
