Plot corrected speed of sound

1. USAGE

plotssp

2. 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

3. 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.
