Shipboard web access to data and figures
----------------------------------------

UHDAS+CODAS documentation and figures at sea start on the 
UHDAS web site, usually  http://currents/adcp 

The automated system extracts data and makes figures that are
available on the ship's network as:

(1) processed velocity data

  * `velocity data on the web <http://currents/adcp/data/index.html>`_

     These are (preliminary) processed data, regularly extracted and saved
     as matlab files.  Vertical and time averaging are described on the same 
     page.  If this above link does not work, click on **Quick Links: Data** 
     on the  UHDAS home page.

  *  every bin, every profile 

     For each processing directory (instrument + pingtype), high-resolution 
     data are extracted  when the database is updated.  These matlab
     files contain the highest  vertical resolution available and the hightest 
     temporal resolution supported in the processing (usually 5 minutes). 

     Access to these files requires you to "map network drive" (on Windows)
     or "mount" the directory (unix).  Instructions for this process start
     `here <../Processing/mounting_disks.html>`_.

     Procedure:

       - mount the ``data`` directory
       - look in ``current_cruise/proc`` for the processing directory 
         of interest.  
       - the files are in ``contour``
       - load the files using "load_getmat.m",  `documented here
         <../Processing/getmat.html>`_.


(2) figures

  *  `live figures <http://currents/adcp/figures_wframes.html>`_

     If the above link does not work, click on **Quick Links: Figures (live)** 
     on the UHDAS home page.


  * archived figures 

    Figures (contour and vector 3-day plots" are archived (during the cruise) 
    `here  <http://currents/adcp/figures/png_archive>`_.  The archive is 
    copied to the processing directory at the end of the cruise.

    If the above link does not work, click on **Quick Links: Figures (archive)**
    on the UHDAS home page.




Shipboard web access to more data and programs
-----------------------------------------------

All UHDAS ADCP programs exist on "currents" and can be used by users
to extract or load (using Matlab) their own files. Follow these links for 
more general information about
