ATSEE Documentation

The ATSEE routine provides access to plotting tools for the GLOBEC Georges Bank Program. It runs using MATLAB and is implemented as a collection of m-files. For additional information contact Bob Groman or Jim Manning.

To use the ATSEE routine, start the MATLAB program. For MS-DOS based PCs, enter cd \globec\atsee to change the directory to the location of the ATSEE m-files. (Note: you can place these files anywhere on your system. Adjust the change directory command accordingly.) Now enter atsee .

Some of the purposes of this routine are:

To standardize georges bank globec plot size, bathymetry, and color codes
To provide globec investigators (including non-matlab users) a point and click means of generating rough plots for "cruise reports".
To begin the practice of sharing code.
To approach "data assimilation".
