1. NAME uvprf2 - Plot velocity profiles and navigation data 2. SYNOPSIS uvprf2(year_base, nav_file, prf_file, plot_title, note, plot_mean, plot_ship ) 3. DESCRIPTION This function is used by uvprf(1m) for plotting velocity profiles and navigation data. Absolute currents are calculated and the resulting profiles are plotted together. It reads data from a navigation and a profile file. The navigation file must have the following columns: 1. time 2. longitude 3. latitude 4. U ship 5. V ship The profile files contains the concatenated profiles with the following columns: 1. depth 2. U relative 3. V relative These two files may be easily generated by xtract(1m). 4. PARAMETERS year_base Year base used in input files. nav_file Name of navigation file. prf_file Name of profile file. Note that depth values must be monotonically increasing for each profile (this is necessary for the function to split out each profile from the file). plot_title Title for the plot. note Additionnal string to plot on the lower left corner of the plot. plot_mean If non-zero,plot a mean velocity profile. This assumes that profile data are given for the same depths. plot_ship If non-zero,also plot information about navigation. 5. OUTPUT This function generates the following files: uvprf.ps Postscript file with the velocity profile plots. shipprf.ps Postscript file with the navigation plot (if selected). 6.
