Figures generated during the glider processing (2nd step)

As for the function plot_step1_process_glider_data.m, the function plot_step2_process_glider.m generates plots for each section defined by the user in the loadosnapmissionparam.m function. As for the step 1, all the figure parameters and the plot parameters (variable to plot, limits, labels) are defined in the function graphparamgliderproc.m, making very easy to plot new variable, without having to copy/paste the same code. Both of these functions are located under oceano_data_toolbox/glider_toolbox/users_param/

The same kind of plots than the one produced during the step 1 of the processing are generated (profiles, time-series, stick vector, map), but this time the data plotted are the data interpolated on a 1db vertical grid. In addition the depth averaged current used at the stage 2 is detided, new variable can be plotted (buoyancy frequency) and contour plots are available

Surface Plots

• Example of a contour plot of the potential temperature:

• Example of a contour plot of the salinity

• Example of a contour plot of the buoyancy frequency

Map with Depth Average Current with colored variable

Here is an example of a map of the DAC along the glider track with the salinity at 500m in color.
