OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – June 2008  Overview Objectives, main features and principles of NEMO Technical characteristics Running NEMO : description of the different steps Link with MIKADO NEMO status and planned development

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – June 2008  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  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 – June 2008  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 – June 2008  NEMO principles NEMO is able to read “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 pre-requirement is that in the 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

Development tool and Framework : ECLIPSE Use of the 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 list are up-to-date

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – June 2008  Running NEMO 4 or 5 steps to convert the entry files to a SeaDataNet format Describe the type of file(s) [Describe the cruise, if the files are related to 1 cruise] NEMO is able to read XML CSR generated with MIKADO Describe the station information Describe the measured parameters Convert the file One more step to Save the description of the format (Model)

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – June 2008  NEMO - description of entry files Where are the files? Is it a cruise? Is it one file per cruise or one file per station ? Is it a collection of files ? grouped by cruises or not? Is it vertical profile, time series or trajectory data? Are the files with separators? Tabulations? Semicolon? Comma ?

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – June 2008 The file is opened in the left part of the window How many line in the file header? How many lines in the station header? How many lines in the station tail? What indicates that the station is finished?

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – June 2008  NEMO STATUS Actual version 1.11 received on May 7 th 2008, Tests completed New release scheduled end of June with correction of bugs Why NEMO will not be taught during this training session? Because some important SDN developments are missing : Last definition of SeaDataNet formats Use of Web Services for parameter MEDATLAS to PUV mapping Keep the quality flags of the input file (if exist) One file = One station Trajectories not taken into account The user manual is missing

OBSERVATIONS & PRÉVISIONS CÔTIÈRES rd SeaDataNet training course – Ostende – June 2008  Planned development All the missing development for SeaDataNet are already started A new version of NEMO with SDN requirements is scheduled in September 2008 NEMO could be released to the SDN partners last quarter of 2008.
