Science/front_tracking_2D_backseat.xml¶
Mission ID: front_tracking_2D
Mission Path: Science/front_tracking_2D_backseat.xml
Vehicle nominally yo-yo's zigzagging across an upwelling front, with science turned on. Each time a front edge is detected, the vehicle turns around and samples across the front again. Front edge is defined by difference in temperature between several depths.
Arguments¶
MissionTimeout¶
MissionTimeout = 24 hour
Maximum duration of mission
NeedCommsTime¶
NeedCommsTime = 60 minute
How often to surface for commumications
TimePastFront¶
TimePastFront = 40 minute
Time to swim past front when tracking.
MaxWaitNoFrontDetection¶
MaxWaitNoFrontDetection = 2 hour
If no front detection after more than MaxWaitNoFrontDetetection, turn off backseat.
MassDefault¶
MassDefault = Control:VerticalControl.massDefault
BuoyancyNeutral¶
BuoyancyNeutral = Control:VerticalControl.buoyancyNeutral
Buoyancy bladder position while performing the YoYo behavior. Defaults to buoyancyNeutral setting in the Config/Control.cfg file. Set to NaN cc for active buoyancy.
Speed¶
Speed = 1 meter_per_second
Speed while performing the YoYo behavior.
YoYoMinDepth¶
YoYoMinDepth = 3 meter

YoYoMinAltitude¶
YoYoMinAltitude = 7 meter
Minimum altitude while performing the YoYo behavior (for bottom-terminated YoYos).
YoYoUpPitch¶
YoYoUpPitch = 20 degree
Vehicle up-pitch while performing the YoYo behavior.
YoYoDownPitch¶
YoYoDownPitch = -20 degree
Vehicle down-pitch while performing the YoYo behavior.
HeadingNorth¶

HeadingSoutheast = 135.0 degree
HeadingSouthwest¶
HeadingSouthwest = 225.0 degree
SearchHeading¶
SearchHeading = 270.0 degree
Initialized to the starting heading (default 270.0). Will be updated when detecting front or hitting wall.
ShapeZ¶
ShapeZ = true
Is the front-tracking in Z shape on north-south sweeps (versus reverse-Z shape)? Initialized to True.
ShapeN¶
ShapeN = true
Is the front-tracking in N shape on east-west sweeps (versus reverse-N shape)? Initialized to False.
FlagNorthSouthSweep¶
FlagNorthSouthSweep = true
Initialized to True.
FlagNorthwardSweep¶
FlagNorthwardSweep = true
Initialized to True.
FlagEastwardSweep¶
FlagEastwardSweep = false
Initialized to False.
LonEastWall¶
LonEastWall = -121.82 degree
LonWestWall¶
LonWestWall = -122.0 degree
LatNorthWall¶
LatNorthWall = 36.9 degree
LatSouthWall¶
LatSouthWall = 36.80 degree
MinAltitude¶
MinAltitude = 7 meter
Minimum height above the sea floor for the entire mission.
MaxDepth¶
MaxDepth = 205 meter
Maximum depth for the entire mission.
MinOffshore¶
MinOffshore = 2 kilometer
Minimum offshore distance for the entire mission.
Output¶
FrontDetected¶
FrontDetected = false
Flag of front detection. Initialized to false.
ElapsedSinceLastFrontDetection¶
ElapsedSinceLastFrontDetection = MaxWaitNoFrontDetection
The mission sets this variable to reset the front detection timer.
Inserts¶
Insert/Science.tl¶
Most missions will run the science sensors. If you don't place this aggregate above NeedComms, science instruments get turned off on the last upcast and while floating on the surface.
