gmtlist
gmtlist - A data-extractor for <legid>.gmt files
SYNOPSIS
gmtlist leg-ids [ -Ccorrectionfile ] [ -Dastartdate ] [
-Dbstopdate ] [ -Fflags ] [ -G ] [ -H ] [
-Rwest/east/south/north ] [ -Sastartdist ] [ -Sbstopdist ]
[ -V ] [ -Wweight ] [ -b ]
DESCRIPTION
gmtlist reads <legid>.gmt files and produces an ASCII [or
binary] table. The <legid>.gmt files contain time(s), lat
itude(y), longitude(x), gravity(g/G), magnetics(m/M), and
bathymetry(t/T), and the user may extract any combination
of these 6 parameters + distance(d), heading (h), velocity
(v), and weight (w, see -W). A sub-section can be speci
fied by passing time- or distance-intervals along track or
by selecting a region.
leg-ids
Can be one or more cruisenames. To give a list of
names, use `cat list_of_legs`.
OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated argu
ments
-C Apply crossover Corrections to the data. If no cor
rection file is given, gmtlist reads the default
correction file. (See XSYSTEM for how to set up
your own correction file)
-Da Do not list data collected before startdate
(mm/dd/yyyy/hh:mm) [Default is first day].
-Db Do not list data collected after stopdate
(mm/dd/yyyy/hh:mm). [Default is last day].
-F Can be any combination of syxgmtdhv to indicate the
desired output data. The data will appear in the
order indicated by flags. If GMT is substituted for
gmt, only records that have that combination of
data are written out. If s is followed by c (calen
der), then yyyy/mm/dd/hh/mm/ss is written out, if s
is followed by j (julian), then yyyy/jd/hh/mm/ss is
written out. Default is seconds from start of year.
-G Force Geographical longitudes (-180/+180) rather
than geodetic (0-360) [Default].
-H Issue a header record with names for each data
field.
-Sb Do not list data that are more than stopdist km
along track from port of departure. [Default is
length of track].
-V Selects verbose mode, which will send progress
reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].
-W Set the weight for these data. Weight output option
must be set in -F. This is useful if the data are
to be processed with the weighted averaging tech
niques offered by blockmean, blockmedian, and
blockmode.
-b Selects binary output mode (in double precision)
[Default is ASCII]. -H is ignored if -b is
selected. Julian and calender dates are not sup
ported for binary time output (i.e., you get sec
onds from start of year).
EXAMPLES
To get a (distance, heading, crossover-corrected gravity,
bathymetry) listing from c2104.gmt, starting at June 3
1971 20:45 and ending at distance = 5000 km, use the fol
lowing command:
gmtlist c2104 -Da6/3/1971/20:45 -Sb5000 -Fdhgt -C > myfile
To make input for blockmean and surface using all the
cruises listed in the file gmt.list, but only the data
that are inside the specified area, and make output
binary, try:
gmtlist `cat gmt.list` -Fxyg -R-40/-30/25/35 -b > all
grav.xyg
