[wod] = wod_build(wod_dir,variable_list)
wod_build(wod_dir,variable_list)
loads profiles in path wod_dir
into the struct wod
with all variables specified in variable_list
. Variables lon, lat, date, z are included automatically.
wod_dir
is a character array search path with wildcards. The search path should be the path to the netcdf files themselves, not their directory.
wod
is a uniform struct containing data from profiles in the path. Some data is included automatically while some must be specified. The variables lon, lat, date, and z are included automatically. Additional variables must be specified in variable_list
, a cell array where each element is the string name of a variable.
% wod_build
% Get variable information:
wod_dir = '/Users/lnferris/Documents/GitHub/ocean_data_tools/data/wod/*.nc'; % included
listing = dir(wod_dir));
ncdisp([listing(1).folder '/' listing(1).name]) % Peek at netCDF header info to inform choice of variable_list.
% Load data in path:
variable_list = {'Temperature','Salinity'}; % Variables to read (besides lon, lat, date, z).
[wod] = wod_build(wod_dir,variable_list);
% Plot profiles:
