DESCRIPTION

This free tool is acoustic data software packages designed to show how the SEDRIS Read API can be used to extract data from a SEDRIS transmittal in a form needed by data applications software.

RELEASE INFORMATION

This tool is being updated, since the last working version is several revisions behind the current SEDRIS SDK release.

The application is linked statically, and additional documentation is included in the download. You do not need to download or install the SEDRIS SDK to use this tool.

FEATURES

• In the first software package, the user selects two points in the area covered by the SEDRIS transmittal. The SEDRIS application software extracts underwater environmental data along the great circle arc connecting the two user selected points, via the SEDRIS Read API. This data, ocean sound speed and bathymetry, is output in a file format suitable for the FeyRay acoustic ray-trace program. That program produces a plot of sound speeds and bottom depths, and sound raytrace paths in a postscript file format. Finally the postscript plot is rendered to the viewer screen using a postscript viewer, such as Ghostview or xv. These three steps (i.e., data extraction from SEDRIS, ray trace processing, and plot rendering) are combined in a single shell script for convenience.
.
• In the second software package, the user selects the southwest and northeast corners of a rectangular ocean surface area contained in the SEDRIS transmittal. The SEDRIS application software uses the SEDRIS Read API to extract bathymetry, sound speed, temperature, and salinity in the ocean volume below the selected rectangular surface. This extracted data is reformatted for the Vis5D data visualization application. Vis5D is then run using the newly created data files. These two steps (i.e., data extraction followed by Vis5D rendering) are combined in a single shell script for convenience.
