mgd77sniffer scans old (pre-Y2K) and new format ASCII MGD77 files for errors using point-by-point sanity checking, along-track detection of excessive slopes, and optional comparison of cruise data with global gravity and predicted bathymetry grids. Detected data problems are output by default as verbose descriptions of each detected error, often resulting in multiple messages per scanned record. Data problems are optionally output (-De option) using a computer-parseable format (see E77 ERROR FORMAT description below). Default error thresholds are derived from histograms of all MGD77 geophysical data collected between 1952 and January, 2006. Thresholds are adjustable with the -L option.- NGDC-ids
- Can be one or more of five kinds of specifiers:
1) 8-character NGDC IDs, e.g., 01010083, JA010010etc., etc.
2) 2-character <agency> codes which will return all cruises from each agency.
3) 4-character <agency><vessel> codes, which will return all cruises from those vessels.
4) =<list>, where <list> is a table with NGDC IDs, one per line.
5) If nothing is specified we return all cruises in the data base.
(See mgd77info -L for agency and vessel codes). The ".mgd77" or ".nc" extensions will automatically be appended, if needed (use -I to ignore certain file types). Cruise files will be looked for first in the current directory and second in all directories listed in $MGD77_HOME/mgd77_paths.txt [If $MGD77_HOME is not set it will default to $GMT_SHAREDIR/mgd77].
REQUIREMENTS
The mgd77sniffer links with Generic Mapping Tools 4.0 or later along with the supplemental GMT packages x2sys and mgd77. See http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu for GMT details. Grids for comparison with cruise data may be downloaded via the web.OPTIONS
- -A
- Apply scale factor and DC adjustment to specified data field. Allows adjustment of cruise data prior to along-track analysis. CAUTION: data must be thoroughly examined before applying these global data adjustments. May not be used for multiple cruises.
- -C
- Set maximum ship speed in m/s, or knots with -N option. Ship speeds exceeding 10 m/s (~20 knots) are flagged as excessive by default.
- -D
- Suppress default warning output and only dump cruise data row-by-row such as values, gradients, grid-cruise differences, E77 error summaries for each record, re-created MGD77 records or sniffer limits. Append r to include all records (default omits records where navigation errors were detected).
-Dd output differences between cruise and grid data. Requires -G option. Output columns include:
lat lon dist cruiseZ gridZ diff [cruiseZ2 gridZ2 diff2 ...]
Note: grid values are subtracted from cruise data so a positive difference implies cruise > grid. For multiple grid comparison, cruiseZ gridZ diff are repeated for each grid comparison in command line order.
-De output E77 error classification format. Error output is divided into (1) a header containing information globally applicable to the cruise and (2) individual error records summarizing all errors encountered in each cruise record. mgd77sniffer writes E77 directly to <ngdc_id.e77> file handle. See E77 ERROR FORMAT below for additional details.
-DE Same as -De but no regression tests will be carried out.
-Df output delta Z (change in geophysical field) column and delta S (change in distance) for each geophysical field. Distance between observations often differ for different fields depending on instrument sampling rate, so ds is included for each geophysical observation. Output columns include:
d[twt] ds d[depth] ds d[mtf1] ds d[mtf2] ds d[mag] ds d[diur] ds d[msd] ds d[gobs] ds d[eot] ds d[faa] ds
-Dl display mgd77sniffer limits. Customize this output to create a custom limits file for the -L option. No additional arguments are required. Output columns include:
fieldabbrev min max maxSlope maxArea
-Dm output MGD77 format records in Y2K-compliant MGD77 format
-Dn output distance to coast for each record. Requires -Gnav or -gnav option. Output columns include:
lat lon dist distToCoast
-Ds output calculated gradients for speed and geophysical fields. Gradients correspond to the gradient type selected in the -S option (spatial derivatives by default). Output columns include:
speed d[twt] d[depth] d[mtf1] d[mtf2] d[mag] d[diur] d[msd] d[gobs] d[eot] d[faa]
See MGD77 FIELD INFO below for field and abbreviations descriptions.
-Dv display values for the twelve position and geophysical fields for each MGD77 data record (in this order):
lat lon twt depth mtf1 mtf2 mag diur msens gobs eot faa
See below for MGD77 FIELD INFO.
- -g
- Compare cruise data to the specified grid in Sandwell/Smith Mercator format. Requires a valid MGD77 field abbreviation (see MGD77 FIELD INFO below) followed by a comma, the path (if not in current directory) and grid filename, a scale to multiply the data (1 or 0.1), and mode which stand for the following: (0) Img files with no constraint code, returns data at all points, (1) Img file with constraints coded, return data at all points, (2) Img file with constraints coded, return data only at constrained points and NaN elsewhere, and (3) Img file with constraints coded, return 1 at constraints and 0 elsewhere.
- -G
- Compare cruise data to the specified grid. Requires a valid MGD77 field abbreviation (see MGD77 FIELD INFO below) followed by a comma, then the path (if not in current directory) and grid filename. Multiple grid comparison is supported by using separate -g or -G calls for each grid. See GRID FILE INFO below.
Grid comparison activates several additional error checks. (1) Re-weighted Least Squares Regression of ship versus grid data determines slope and DC shift, which when differing from expected 1 and 0, respectively, may indicate incorrectly scaled ship data, including incorrect units or instrument drift as well as erroneous gravity tie-in. (2) Accumulated ship grid offsets are computed along-track and excessive offsets are flagged according to maxArea threshold (use -L option to adjust maxArea). Warning: predicted bathymetry grids are constrained by cruise data so grids and cruise data are not always independent. Comparison of cruise bathymetry with predicted bathymetry grids also activates a "navigation crossing over land" check.
- -H
- (with -G|g only) disable (or force) decimation during RLS analysis of ship and gridded data. By default mgd77sniffer analyses both the full and decimated data sets then reports RLS statistics for the higher correlation regression.
-Hb analyze both (default), report better of two.
-Hd to disable data decimation (equivalent to -H with no argument).
-Hf to force data decimation.
- -I
- Append a field abbreviation and the first and last record in a range of records that should be flagged as bad (and set to NaN prior to the analysis). Repeat as many times as needed. May not be used for multiple cruises.
- -K
- Reverse navigation quality flags (good to bad and vice versa). May be necessary when a majority of navigation fixes are erroneously flagged bad, which can happen when a cruise's first navigation fix is extremely erroneous. Caution! This will affect sniffer output and should only be attempted after careful manual navigation review.
- -L
- Override mgd77sniffer default error detection limits. Supply path and filename to the custom limits file. Rows not beginning with a valid MGD77 field abbreviation are ignored. Field abbreviations are listed below in exact form under MGD77 FIELD INFO. Multiple field limits may be modified using one default file, one field per line. Field min, max, max slope and max area may be changed for each field. Max slope pertains to the gradient type selected using the -S option. Max area is used by the -G option as the threshold for flagging excessive offsets from the specified grid. Dump defaults -Dl to view syntax or to quickly create an editable custom limits file.
Example custom default file contents (see below for units):
'## abbrev min max maxSlope maxArea
twt 0 15 1 0
depth 0 11000 500 5000
mag -800 800 - -
faa -300 300 100 2500Use a dash '-' to retain a default limit. Hint: to test your custom limits, try: mgd77sniffer -Dl -L<yourlimitsfile>
- -N
- Use nautical units.
- -P
- Flag regression statistics that are outside the specified confidence level. (i.e., -P5 flags coefficients m, b, rms, and r that fall outside 95%.)
- -Q
- Quick mode, use bilinear rather than bicubic interpolation [Default]. Alternatively, select the interpolation mode by adding b for B-spline smoothing, c for bicubic interpolation, l for bilinear interpolation or n for nearest-neighbor value. Optionally, append threshold in the range [0,1]. This parameter controls how close to nodes with NaN values the interpolation will go. E.g., a threshold of 0.5 will interpolate about half way from a non-NaN to a NaN node, whereas 0.1 will go about 90% of the way, etc. [Default is 1, which means none of the (4 or 16) nearby nodes may be NaN]. -Q0 will just return the value of the nearest node instead of interpolating. This is the same as using -Qn.
- -R
- west, east, south, and north specify the Region of interest, and you may specify them in decimal degrees or in [+-]dd:mm[:ss.xxx][W|E|S|N] format. Append r if lower left and upper right map coordinates are given instead of w/e/s/n. The two shorthands -Rg and -Rd stand for global domain (0/360 and -180/+180 in longitude respectively, with -90/+90 in latitude). Alternatively, specify the name of an existing grid file and the -R settings (and grid spacing, if applicable) are copied from the grid.
- -S
- Specify gradient type for along-track excessive slope checking.
-Sd Calculate change in z values along track (dz). Output is given in geophysical units, e.g. mGal.
-Ss Calculate spatial gradients (dz/ds). Output is given in geophysical units per km along the survey track, e.g. mGal/km.
-St Calculate time gradients (dz/dt) [default]. Output is given in geophysical units per second along the survey track, e.g. mGal/sec. - -T
- Adjusts mgd77sniffer gap handling. By default, data gaps greater than 5 km are skipped. Set to zero to de-activate gap skipping.
- -W
- Print out only certain warning types for verbose error messages. Comma delimit any combination of c|g|o|s|t|v|x: where (c) type code warnings, (g)radient out of range, (o)ffsets from grid (requires -G|g), (s)peed out of range, (t)ime warnings, (v)alue out of range, (x) warning summaries. By default ALL warning messages are printed.Not compatible with any -D options.
- -V
- Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].
- -b
- output binary data for -Dd|f|s|v option. Append s for single and d for double precision [Default is double].

GRID FILE INFO
For -g the grids must be in the format used by Sandwell & Smith, which is a spherical Mercator 2-byte grid with no header. For -G the grid files can be of any grid type supported by GMT and therefore must contain a GMT header. A correctly formatted *.i2 grid file can be generated using grdraster as shown below.gmtset GRIDFILE_SHORTHAND TRUE
Create/edit .gmt_io file to include the following rows:
'## GMT I/O shorthand file
'## suffix format_id scale offset NaN
grd 0 - - -
i2 2 - - 32767
grdraster 1 -R0/359:55/-90/90 -Getopo5_hdr.i2
The new grid, etopo5_hdr.i2 in this example, contains a GMT header and can be used in the -G option to compare cruise depth with grid values.
E77 ERROR FORMAT
- Header
- Information pertaining to an entire cruise, such as NGDC and survey institution identification codes, cruise examination time, two-way travel time corrector information, data precision warnings, as well as systematic scales, DC shifts and correlation coefficients from global grid comparisons are reported as E77 header information.
