M0 hourly data set documentation

This data set contains observations from MBARI OASIS mooring M0. Each variable from each deployment has been gridded to a common hourly time axes. A simple averager (Ferret's AVE) is used to put all of the data onto the same hourly time axis.
ADCP data are gridded in depth to a common regular axis between 5 and 55 meters with an bin interval of 5 meters. The Tstring data are gridded in depth at levels 1,10,20,40,55. For both depth gridding the Ferret LIN was used.
The data in this data set are available via DODS at
http://dods.mbari.org/cgi-bin/nph-nc/data/OASISdata/netcdf/hourlyM0.nc

and through the DODS html form mechanism:

Below are the Ferret scripts (and their output) that produced this file from the original deployment data sets (which are also available via DODS). Because the DODS URLs are used, these GO scripts can be run from any Internet connected computer that has Ferret version 5.22 or higher installed.
