Documentation for this toolbox is available on the Wiki.
This toolbox provides 2 core classes, Dbd and DbdGroup, which provide a mechanism for manipulating individual data files as well as groups of data files, respectively. There are also a variety of utility routines for, among other things:
- Conversion of Matlab dates to unix dates
- Convertion of NMEA GPS coordinates to and from decimal degrees
- File operations
- Exporting data to a variety of data structures and file formats
- Plotting data sets
The toolbox currently uses the CSIRO Matlab EOS-80 Seawater Library to derive oceanic properties from the raw glider measurements.
A copy of the last stable version can also be found here.
Development of the CSIRO Matlab EOS-80 Seawater Library toolbox has been stopped in favor of the Gibbs SeaWater (GSW) Oceanographic Toolbox of the International Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater (TEOS-10), which can be found here.
As of August 2014, I have not made the switch to the GSW toolbox.
