The above web pages are produced as a "byproduct" of the standard SSDS mooring data processing system. Each data set is updated every 2 hours by a cron job running on host Elvis. Data are first converted from the SSDS managed DataStream using RecordVariable metadata from SSDS to produce fully-described "original" netCDF files. These netCDF files are read by plotting software to produce full deployment and last 7-days plots. Follow-on tasks combine variables of interest into hourly and ten-minute gridded data sets which also have plots.
All of this processing is reported back to SSDS and these products may be found by navigating the Deployment tree using SSDS's Explorer application. All of the processing code (a set of simple Perl scripts and a module to communicate with SSDS) is available from CVS.
