A Matlab interface to Dapper - an OPeNDAP in-situ data service
Dapper is a newly emerging, community-standard OPeNDAP server for in situ data. DapperM is a Matlab interface to data served by the Dapper OPeNDAP server. Matlab functions include an interactive lat/lon/depth/time data selection tool and functions for obtaining and using selected profile and time series datasets. The functions are described below, and an example is given. Documentation is built into Matlab for convenience of the user.
The Common Data Format (CDF) is a self-describing data format for the storage and manipulation of scalar and multidimensional data in a platform- and discipline-independent fashion.
NetCDF (network Common Data Form) is a set of software libraries and machine-independent data formats that support the creation, access, and sharing of array-oriented scientific data.
