OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES Training Workshop – Ostende – October 2009 NEMO For ASCII files on any type

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 27 October 2009 Objectives NEMO is a reformatting software used to generate ASCII files at MEDATLAS or ODV formats which are defined as SeaDataNet formats for data exchange between SeaDataNet partners. Can be downloaded from SeaDataNet Web site : It was created in IFREMER for internal purposes, and adapted to take into account the SeaDataNet formats and vocabularies.

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 27 October 2009 Technical characteristics Written in Java Language (Version >= 1.6) Bilingual (French, English) Available under multiple environments : Microsoft : Windows 2000, XP, VISTA, APPLE Unix - Solaris Linux Use of SeaDataNet common vocabularies web services to update lists of values of the SeaDataNet common vocabularies need network connections in order to have up to date lists of values. But NEMO works offline once the lists are up-to-date

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 27 October 2009 NEMO main features Reformat any ASCII file of vertical profiles, time-series or trajectories to a SeaDataNet ASCII format (ODV, MEDATLAS). The input ASCII files can be : one file per station for vertical profiles or time series one file for one cruise for vertical profiles, time series or trajectories Interact with Mikado, to be able to generate ISO XML descriptions of the data.

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 27 October 2009 NEMO principles NEMO must be able to read almost any ASCII format to translate it to MEDATLAS, ODV Users of NEMO describe the entry files format so that NEMO is able to find the information which is necessary in the SeaDataNet formats One mandatory pre-requirement is that in the set of entry files the information about the stations must be located at the same position : same line in the file, same position on the line or same column if CSV format be in the same format For example : for all the stations the latitude is on line 3 on the station header, from character 21 to character 27, or 3 rd column in CSV the format is +DD.ddd

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 27 October 2009 Running NEMO 4 or 5 steps to convert the entry files to a SeaDataNet format 1.Describe the type of file(s) 2.[Describe the cruise, if the files are related to 1 cruise] NEMO is able to read XML CSR generated with MIKADO 3.Describe the station information 4.Describe the measured parameters 5.Convert the file One more step to Save the description of the format (Model)

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 27 October 2009 NEMO - Description of entry files (1) Where are the files? Is it a cruise? Is it one file per cruise or one file per station ? Is it a collection of station files ? grouped by cruises or not? Are the files with separators? Tabulations? Semicolon? Comma ? Are they vertical profiles, time series or trajectories data?

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – 27 October 2009 NEMO - Description of entry files (2) File to convert is displayed in NEMO window The principle is to describe the input file by selecting the information in the file window
