EPIC processing toolbox users guide

Abstract

A set of computer programs for data analysis is described and documented. The programs were developed to aid in the processing of time-series data collected by the Upper Ocean Processes Group. These programs, or tools, utilize a platform independent format known as the Network Common Data Format (netCDF). The format is further defined using a convention known as EPIC which allows easy access to other plotting and manipulation tools available to the UOP group. The general method for implementation of the toolbox is described. A reference section lists the available tools, as well as examples and detailed descriptions of their usage and functionality. The toolbox has been tested and used extensively on both Sun and Silicon Graphics Interface UNIX workstations.
