X2SYS_SOLVE(1) Generic Mapping Tools X2SYS_SOLVE(1)NAMEx2sys_solve - Determine systematic corrections from crossovers
SYNOPSISx2sys_solve-Ccolumn -TTAG -Emode [ COE_list.d ] [ -V ] [ -W ] [ -Z ] [
-bi[s|S|d|D[ncol]|c[var1/...]] ]
DESCRIPTIONx2sys_solve will use the supplied crossover information to solve for
systematic corrections that can then be applied per track to improve
data quality. Several systematic corrections can be solved for using a
least-squares approach. Note: Only one data column can be processed at
the time.
-T Specify the x2sys TAG which tracks the attributes of this data
type.
-C Specify which data column you want to process. Needed for
proper formatting of the output correction table and must match
the same option used in x2sys_list when preparing the input
data.
-E The correction type you wish to model. Choose among the follow‐
ing functions f(p), where p are the m parameters per track that
we will fit simultaneously using a least squares approach:
c will fit f(p) = a (a constant offset); records must contain
cruise ID1, ID2, COE.
d will fit f(p) = a + b * d (linear drift; d is distance;
records must contain cruise ID1, ID2, d1, d2, COE.
g will fit f(p) = a + b sin(y)^2 (1980-1930 gravity correc‐
tion); records must contain cruise ID1, ID2, latitude y, COE.
h will fit f(p) = a + b cos(H) + c cos(2H) + d sin(H) + e
sin(2H) (magnetic heading correction); records must contain
cruise ID1, ID2, heading H, COE.
s will fit f(p) = a * z (a unit scale correction); records must
contain cruise ID1, ID2, z1, z2.
t will fit f(p) = a + b * (t - t0) (linear drift; t0 is the
start time of the track); records must contain cruise ID1, ID2,
t1-t0, t2-t0, COE.
OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments.
COE_list.d
Name of file with the required crossover columns as produced by
x2sys_list. NOTE: If -bi is used then the first two columns are
expected to hold the integer track IDs; otherwise we expect
those columns to hold the text string names of the two tracks.
-V Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr
[Default runs "silently"].
-W Means that each input records has an extra column with the com‐
posite weight for each crossover record. These are used to
obtain a weighted least squares solution [no weights].
-Z For -Ed and -Et, determine the earliest time or shortest dis‐
tance for each track, then use these values as the local origin
for time duration or distance calculations. The local origin is
then included in the correction table [Default uses 0].
-bi Selects binary input. Append s for single precision [Default is
d (double)]. Uppercase S or D will force byte-swapping.
Optionally, append ncol, the number of columns in your binary
input file if it exceeds the columns needed by the program. Or
append c if the input file is netCDF. Optionally, append
var1/var2/... to specify the variables to be read.
EXAMPLES
To fit a simple bias offset to faa for all tracks under the MGD77 tag,
try
x2sys_list COE_data.txt -V -T MGD77 -C faa -F nc > faa_coe.txt
x2sys_solve faa_coe.txt -V -T MGD77 -C faa -E c > coe_table.txt
To fit a faa linear drift with time instead, try
x2sys_list COE_data.txt -V -T MGD77 -C faa -F nTc > faa_coe.txt
x2sys_solve faa_coe.txt -V -T MGD77 -C faa -E t > coe_table.txt
To estimate heading corrections based on magnetic crossovers associated
with the tag MGD77 from the file COE_data.txt, try
x2sys_list COE_data.txt -V -T MGD77 -C mag -F nhc > mag_coe.txt
x2sys_solve mag_coe.txt -V -T MGD77 -C mag -E h > coe_table.txt
To estimate unit scale corrections based on bathymetry crossovers, try
x2sys_list COE_data.txt -V -T MGD77 -C depth -F nz > depth_coe.txt
x2sys_solve depth_coe.txt -V -T MGD77 -C depth -E s > coe_table.txt
