dbinfo = diva3d(xi,x,value,len,epsilon2,filename,varname)

Create a 3D analysis (or a series of 3D analysis) with DIVAnd using the observations value (vector) at the locations x (tuple of vectors) onto the regular grid defined by the vectors xi using the scaled observational error variance epsilon2 and the correlation length len. The result will be saved in the netCDF file filename under the variable varname.

Inputs

• xi: tuple with n elements. Every element represents a coordinate of the final grid on which the observations are interpolated

• x: tuple with n elements. Every element represents a coordinate of the observations

• value: value of the observations

• len: tuple with n elements. Every element represents the correlation length. If fitcorrlen is false (default), the correlation length should be expressed in meters. If fitcorrlen is true, then len can be the empty tuple () or a tuple containing 3 arrays of normalized correlation lengths which will be multiplied by the horizontal and vertical correlation lengths.

• epsilon2: error variance of the observations (normalized by the error variance of the background field).

epsilon2 can be a scalar (all observations have the same error variance and their errors are decorrelated), a vector (all observations can have a different error variance and their errors are decorrelated) or a matrix (all observations can have a different error variance and their errors can be correlated). If epsilon2 is a scalar, it is thus the inverse of the signal-to-noise ratio.

• filename: the output netCDF filename.

• varname: the name of the variable (used in the netCDF file).

Optional input arguments:

• bathname: path to the netCDF bathymetry (default ../../DIVAnd-example-data/Global/Bathymetry/gebco_30sec_16.nc relative to this source file)
• bathisglobal: true (default) is the bathymetry is a global data set
• plotres: call-back routine for plotting ((timeindex,sel,fit,erri) -> nothing)
• timeorigin: time origin (default DateTime(1900,1,1,0,0,0))
• moddim: modulo for cyclic dimension (vector with n elements). Zero is used for non-cyclic dimensions. Halo points should not be included for cyclic dimensions. For example if the first dimension is cyclic, then the grid point corresponding to mask[1,j] should be between mask[end,1] (left neighbor) and mask[2,j] (right neighbor). The default is [0,0,0],
• zlevel: :surface (default) for surface analysis and :floor for analysis from the bottom floor.
• ncvarattrib: dictionary of netCDF variable attributes.
• ncglobalattrib: dictionary of netCDF global attributes.
• transform: Anamorphosis transformation function (default: Anam.notransform()).
• fitcorrlen: true if the correlation length is determined from the observation (default false). Note that the parameter len is interpreted differently when fitcorrlen is set to true.
• fithorzcorrlen: true if the horizontal correlation length is determined from the observation (default: the value of fitcorrlen) Note that the parameter len is interpreted differently when fithorzcorrlen is set to true.
• fitvertcorrlen: true if the vertical correlation length is determined from the observation (default: the value of fitcorrlen) Note that the parameter len is interpreted differently when fitvertcorrlen is set to true.
• fithorz_param: dictionary with additional optional parameters for fithorzlen, for example: Dict(:smoothz => 200., :searchz => 50.).
• fitvert_param: dictionary with additional optional parameters for fitvertlen.
• distfun: function to compute the distance (default (xi,xj) -> DIVAnd.distance(xi[2],xi[1],xj[2],xj[1])).
• mask: if different from nothing, then this mask overrides land-sea mask based on the bathymetry

(default nothing).

• background: if different from nothing, then this parameter allows one

to load the background from a call-back function (default nothing). The call-back functions has the parameters (x,n,trans_value,trans) where x represent the position of the observations, n the time index, trans_value, the observations (possibly transformed) and trans the transformation function. The output of this function is the gridded background field and the observations minus the background field. See also DIVAnd.backgroundfile.

• background_epsilon2_factor: multiplication for epsilon2 when computing a vertical profile as a background estimate (default: computed internally based on the amount of data). This parameter is not used when the parameter background or background_lenz is provided.
• background_lenz: vertical correlation for background computation (default 20 m). This parameter is not used when the parameter background is provided.
• background_len: deprecated option replaced by background_lenz.
• filterbackground: number of iterations to filter the background profile (default 0, no filtering)
• memtofit: keyword controlling how to cut the domain depending on the memory remaining available for inversion. It is not the total memory (default 3). Use a large value (e.g. 100) to force the usage for the more efficient direct solver if you are not limited by the amount of RAM memory.
• minfield: if the analysed field is below minfield, its value is replace by minfield (default -Inf, i.e. no substitution is done).
• maxfield: if the analysed field is above maxfield, its value is replace by maxfield (default +Inf, i.e. no substitution is done).
• saveindex: controls if just a subset of the analysis should be saved to the netCDF file. Per default, saveindex is (:,:,:) (corresponding to longitude, latitude and depth indices) meaning that everything is saved. If however, for example the first layer should not be saved then saveindex should be (:,:,2:length(depthr)) where depthr is the 3rd element of xi.
• niter_e: Number of iterations to estimate the optimal scale factor of epsilon2 using Desroziers et al. 2005 (doi: 10.1256/qj.05.108). The default is 1 (i.e. no optimization is done).
• coeff_derivative2 (vector of 3 floats): for every dimension where this value is non-zero, an additional term is added to the cost function penalizing the second derivative. A typical value of this parameter is [0.,0.,1e-8].
• surfextend: create an additional layer on top of the surface layer so that the effective background error variance is more similar to the deep ocean. false is the default value.
• stat_per_timeslice (default false): if true, then the residual values (and possibly qcvalues) are also returned by time slices which is useful if the time slices overlap (see example below).
• error_thresholds (default [("L1", 0.3), ("L2", 0.5)]). This is a list of tuples with the applied error thresholds and the variable names suffixes. If the variable is named e. g. "Salinity", then the variables "Salinity_L1" (resp. "Salinity_L2") will be created where the analysis is masked if the relative error exceeds 0.3 (resp. 0.5).
• divamethod: DIVAndgo (default) or DIVAndrun

Any additional keywoard arguments understood by DIVAndgo/DIVAndrun can also be used here (e.g. velocity constrain)

The output is a dictionary with the followings keys:

• :residuals: the difference between the observations and the analysis (interpolated linearly to the

location of the observations). The residual is NaN if the observations are not within the domain as defined by the mask and the coordinates of the observations x.

• :qcvalues: quality control scores (if activated)

Example

Example on how to aggredate the residuals per time slice and to retain the maximum residual:

selection_per_timeslice = dbinfo[:selection_per_timeslice]
residuals_per_timeslice = dbinfo[:residuals_per_timeslice]
selection_per_timeslice = dbinfo[:selection_per_timeslice]

max_residuals = fill(-Inf,length(value))
for n = 1:length(selection_per_timeslice)
   sel = selection_per_timeslice[n]
   max_residuals[sel] = max.(max_residuals[sel],residuals_per_timeslice[n])
end

DIVAndrun(mask,pmn,xi,x,f,len,epsilon2; <keyword arguments>)

Perform an n-dimensional variational analysis of the observations f located at the coordinates x. The array fi represent the interpolated field at the grid defined by the coordinates xi and the scales factors pmn.

Input:

• mask: binary mask delimiting the domain. true is inside and false outside.

For oceanographic application, this is the land-sea mask where sea is true and land is false.

• pmn: scale factor of the grid. pmn is a tuple with n elements. Every element represents the scale factor of the corresponding dimension. Its inverse is the local resolution of the grid in a particular dimension. For example, in two dimensions, pmn is a tuple (pm,pn) where pm is the inverse of the local resolution in first dimension and pn is the the inverse of the local resolution in second dimension.

• xi: tuple with n elements. Every element represents a coordinate of the final grid on which the observations are interpolated.

• x: tuple with n elements. Every element represents a coordinate of the observations.

• f: value of the observations minus the background estimate (vector of m elements where m is the number of observations). See also note.

• len: tuple with n elements. Every element represents the correlation length for a given dimension.

• epsilon2: error variance of the observations (normalized by the error variance of the background field). epsilon2 can be a scalar (all observations have the same error variance and their errors are decorrelated), a vector (all observations can have a different error variance and their errors are decorrelated) or a matrix (all observations can have a different error variance and their errors can be correlated). If epsilon2 is a scalar, it is thus the inverse of the signal-to-noise ratio.

Optional input arguments specified as keyword arguments

• velocity: velocity of the advection constraint. It is a tuple of n arrays and each array represents a single velocity component. The individual array should have the same size as the final grid. The first (second,..) element of the velocity is the velocity compomenent along the first (second,...) dimension. The velocity has the units of a length-scale. If this parameter is derived from ocean currents, then the later must be multiplied by a factor (to be determined for example by cross-validation) and this factor has the units of a time-scale. The default is no-advection constraint.

• alpha: alpha is vector of coefficients multiplying various terms in the cost function. The first element multiplies the norm. The other i-th element of alpha multiplies the (i+1)-th derivative. Per default, the highest derivative is m = ceil(1+neff/2) where neff is the effective dimension of the problem (the number of dimensions with a nonzero correlation length) and ceil is the ceiling function (rounding up).

   The values of alpha is the (m+1)th row of the Pascal triangle:
      m=0         1
      m=1       1   1
      m=1     1   2   1     (n=1,2)
      m=2   1   3   3   1   (n=3,4)
      ...

• constraints: a structure with user specified constraints (see DIVAnd_addc).

• moddim: modulo for cyclic dimension (vector with n elements). Zero is used for non-cyclic dimensions. One should not include a boundary zone (sometimes called a ghost zone or halo) for cyclic dimensions. For example if the first dimension is cyclic, then the grid point corresponding to mask[1,j] should be between mask[end,j] (left neighbor) and mask[2,j] (right neighbor).

• fracindex: fractional indices (n-by-m array). If this array is specified, then x and xi are not used.

• inversion: direct solver (:chol for Cholesky factorization), an interative solver (:pcg for preconditioned conjugate gradient [1]) can be used or :cg_amg_sa for a multigrid method with preconditioned conjugate gradient. The two last methods are iterative methods who a controlled by the number of iterations maxit and the tolerance tol.

• compPC: function that returns a preconditioner for the primal formulation if inversion is set to :pcg. The function has the following arguments:

       fun = compPC(iB,H,R)

  where iB is the inverse background error covariance, H the observation operator and R the error covariance of the observation. The function compPC returns the preconditioner fun(x,fx) computing fx = M \ x (the inverse of M times x) where M is a positive defined symmetric matrix [1]. Effectively, the system E⁻¹ A (E⁻¹)ᵀ (E x) = E⁻¹ b is solved for (E x) where E Eᵀ = M. Ideally, M should this be similar to A, so that E⁻¹ A (E⁻¹)ᵀ is close to the identity matrix.

• fi0: starting field for iterative primal algorithm (same size as mask).

• f0: starting field for iterative dual algorithm (same size as the observations f).

• operatortype: Val{:sparse} for using sparse matrices (default) or Val{:MatFun} or using functions to define the constrains.

• scale_len: true (default) if the correlation length-scale should be scaled such that the analytical kernel reaches 0.6019072301972346 (besselk(1.,1.)) at the same distance than in 2D. The kernel behaves thus similar to the default kernel in two dimensions (alpha = [1,2,1]).

• alphabc: numerical value defining how the last grid points are stretched outward. If alphabc is 1, the default value mimics an infinite domain. To have previous behaviour of finite domain use alphabc equal to 0.

• btrunc: if provided defines where to truncate the calculation of the covariance matrix B. Only values up and including alpha[btrunc] will be calculated. If the iterative solution is calculated, the missing terms will be calculated on the fly during the conjugate gradient calculations. Default value is none and full covariance calculation.

Output:

• fi: the analysed field
• s: a structure with an array s.P representing the analysed error covariance

Note:

If zero is not a valid first guess for your variable (as it is the case for e.g. ocean temperature), you have to subtract the first guess from the observations before calling DIVAnd and then add the first guess back in.

Example:

see DIVAnd_simple_example.jl

Perform an n-dimensional variational analysis of the observations f located at the coordinates x. The array fi represent the interpolated field at the grid defined by the coordinates xi and the scales factors pmn.

IMPORTANT: DIVAndgo is very similar to DIVAndrun and is only interesting to use if DIVAndrun cannot fit into memory or if you want to parallelize. (In the latter case do not forget to define the number of workers; see addprocs for example)

ncglobalattrib,ncvarattrib = SDNMetadata(metadata,fi)

Based on the information in the dictionary metadata and the analysed 4D field fi produce a list of NetCDF global and variable attributes for DIVAnd_save2. To list all registered projects call keys(DIVAnd.PROJECTS). For example:

julia> using DIVAnd
julia> keys(DIVAnd.PROJECTS)
Base.KeySet for a Dict{String,Dict{String,String}} with 3 entries. Keys:
  "EMODNET-chemistry"
  "SeaDataNet"
  "SeaDataCloud"

save(filename,xyi,fi,varname;
                      ncvarattrib = Dict(), ncglobalattrib = Dict(), ...)

Save the result of the analysis in a netCDF file.

Input arguments

• filename: the name of the NetCDF file
• xyi: tuple with n vectors. Every element in this tuple represents a coordinate of the final grid on which the observations are interpolated
• fi: the analysed field
• varname: the name of the NetCDF variable

Optional arguments:

• ncglobalattrib: a dictionary with the global attributes
• ncvarattrib: a dictionary with the variable attributes
• relerr: relative error

value,lon,lat,depth,time,obsid = loadbigfile(filename)

Load data from the text file filename and returns vectors with the value, longitude, latitude, depth and time (as DateTime). A list string identifiers is also returned.

checkobs(x,v,ids)
checkobs(io::IO,x,v,ids)

Print some basic information about the coordinates x (tuple of vector) and values v (vector) having the identifier ids (vector of strings) to check erroneous data. It prints wheter NaNs or Infs are found and the minimum and maximum value.

If the argument io is provided, the information is input/output stream io.

ff = smoothfilter(x,f,scale)

Smooth the function f defined on x by solving the diffusion equation

∂ₜ ϕ = ν ∂²ₓ ϕ

scale is the spatial scales of the removed length-scales. It is defined as 2Tν where T is the integration time.

It uses the Greens functions for 1D diffusion: 1/sqrt(4 π ν t) * exp(-x^2 / (4νt))

trans,invtrans = loglin(t; epsilon = 0.)

Provide the following transform log(x + epsilon) (for x < t) and its inverse. Beyond the threshold t (x ≥ t), the function is extended linearly in a continous way.

trans,invtrans are scalar functions such that for any x (x > epsilon), x == invtrans(trans(x)).

For any array X, we have: X == invtrans.(trans.(X)).

trans,invtrans = logit(; min = 0., max = 1.)

Provide the logit transform and its inverse. Per default the logit transform maps values within the interval from 0 and 1. This can be changed with the min and max parameters. Note that trans(min) = -∞ and trans(max) = +∞. The use safety-margin might be necessary.

DIVAnd.divadoxml(filepath,varname,project,cdilist,xmlfilename;
                 ignore_errors = false,
                 WMSlayername = [],
                 previewindex = 1,
                 additionalcontacts = [],
                 additionalvars = Dict{String,Any}())

Generate the XML metadata file xmlfilename from the NetCDF file filepath (or list of files) with the NetCDF variable varname. Project is either "SeaDataNet", "EMODNET-chemistry" or "SeaDataCloud". cdilist is the file from https://emodnet-chemistry.maris.nl/download/export.zip.

The XML file contains a list of the data the originators. divadoxml will abort with an error if some combinations of EDMO code, local CDI ID are not present in the cdilist. Such errors can be ignored if ignore_errors is set to true. To understand why some EDMO code/local CDI ID could not be found, one can the decompress file from https://emodnet-chemistry.maris.nl/download/export.zip which contains a file called export.csv. This file has the columns author_edmo and cdi_identifier which this function uses to find the data originators (column originator_edmo).

Information can be overridden with the dictionary additionalvars. The keys should corresponds to the template tags found the in template directory. Template tags are the strings inside {{ and }}.

NetCDF_URL should be suppplied since it's a URL of a ZIP file which is usually not from OceanBrowser.

If filepath is a vector of file names, the argument WMSlayername can be provided to give additional information to distinguish between the NetCDF files. The elements of the vector of string will be appended to the description of the WMS layer.

The resulting XML file includes the file names (provided by filepath). Do not change the file names after running this function, otherwise the XML will still contain a reference to the old file names. If you must change the file names please do so before running this script.

If the data is present in a subfolder (e.g. "Winter") later on the OceanBrowser webserver, the filepath should also contain this subfolder (e.g. "Winter/somefile.nc"). The local directories should mirror the directory structure on OceanBrowser. Relative paths should be used, and if the Julia code isn't right above the NetCDF files, use cd("<path>") before each setting the files parameter which use paths relative to this path.

If the products will go into a sub-directory (which is different from the domain name), the part of the path should with provided with the parameter url_path.

The link for the NetCDF download for EMODNET-chemistry for example is the following:

PROJECTS["EMODNET-chemistry"]["baseurl_http"] *  "/" * url_path * "/" * filepath

where url_path defaults to the the domain name (from the C19 vocabulary) if it is not provided. The script will print the URLs for verification.

additionalcontacts is a list of dictionaries with additional condact information to be added in the XML file. Elements are typically create by the function DIVAnd.getedmoinfo.

WMSexclude is a list of string with NetCDF variables not be included the XML under the WMS layer section.

Example

download("https://emodnet-chemistry.maris.nl/download/export.zip","export.zip")
files = [
         "Winter (January-March) - 6-year running averages/Water_body_chlorophyll-a.4Danl.nc",
         "Spring (April-June) - 6-year running averages/Water_body_chlorophyll-a.4Danl.nc",
         "Summer (July-September) - 6-year running averages/Water_body_chlorophyll-a.4Danl.nc",
         "Autumn (October-December) - 6-year running averages/Water_body_chlorophyll-a.4Danl.nc"
         ];

additionalcontacts = [
    DIVAnd.getedmoinfo(1977,"originator"), # US NODC for World Ocean Database
    DIVAnd.getedmoinfo(4630,"originator"), # CORIOLIS for CORA
]

DIVAnd.divadoxml(files,"Water_body_chlorophyll-a","EMODNET-chemistry","export.zip","test.xml";
    ignore_errors = true,
    additionalvars = Dict("abstract" => "Here goes the abstract"),
    additionalcontacts = additionalcontacts,
    WMSlayername = ["winter","spring","summer","autumn"]
)

For this function the following global NetCDF attributes are mandatory:

• product_id: UUID identifier
• parameter_keyword_urn or parameter_keyword (or parameter_keywords): P35 code (e.g. "SDN:P35::EPC00007") or preferred label (e.g. "Water body phosphate") respectively. Note the singular form (parameter_keyword) is preferred because there should be only a single P35 parameter per NetCDF file, but singular and plural forms are valid.
• search_keywords_urn or search_keywords: P02 code or preferred label
• area_keywords_urn or area_keywords: C19 code or preferred label
• institution_edmo_code: EDMO code number
• product_version: version of the product

ds.attrib["attribute_name"] = "attribute value"
close(ds)

contact = DIVAnd.getedmoinfo(edmo_code,role)

Returns a dictionary with the contact information from the EDMO registry based on the prodivided emdo_code. role is the Sextant contact information role, i.e. either "originator" or "author".

field = DIVAnd.random(mask,pmn,len,Nens)

The units of all input and output parameters are degrees.

f = interp(xi,fi,x)

Interpolate field fi (n-dimensional array) defined at xi (tuble of n-dimensional arrays or vectors) onto grid x (tuble of n-dimensional arrays). The grid in xi must be align with the axis (e.g. produced by DIVAnd.ndgrid).

fun = backgroundfile(fname,varname)

Return a function fun which is used in DIVAnd to make anomalies out of observations based relative to the field defined in the NetCDF variable varname in the NetCDF file fname. It is assumed that the NetCDF variables has the variable lon, lat and depth. And that the NetCDF variable is defined on the same grid as the analysis.

fun = backgroundfile(fname,varname,TS)

It is assumed that the NetCDF variables has the variable lon, lat and depth. And that the NetCDF variable is defined on the same grid as the analysis and was generated according to the provided time selector TS (TimeSelectorYearListMonthList or TimeSelectorRunningAverage).

dupl = checkduplicates(x,value,delta,deltavalue)

Based on the coordinates x (a tuple of longitudes lons, latitudes lats, depths (zs) and times (times vector of DateTime)), search for points which are in the same spatio-temporal bounding box of length delta. delta is a vector with 4 elements corresponding to longitude, latitude, depth and time (in days). dupl a vector of vectors containing the indices of the duplicates.

Report duplicates of observations in data set (x2,v2) which are also in data set (x1,v1). x1 and x2 are tuples of vectors with the coordinates, v1 and v2 are the corresponding values.

dens,Ltuple,LCV,LSCV = DIVAnd_heatmap(mask,pmn,xi,x,inflation,Labs;Ladaptiveiterations=0,myheatmapmethod="DataKernel",
optimizeheat=true,nmax=1000,otherargs...)

Computes a heatmap based on locations of observations using kernel density estimation (probability density field whose integral over the domain is one)

Input:

• mask: mask as usual

• pmn : tuple of metrics as usual

• xi: tuple of coordinates of the grid for the heatmap

• x : tuple of coordinates of observations

• inflation: array generally of ones. For some applications an observation can carry a different weight which is then encoded in the array

• Labs : the length scales for DIVAnd. Here their meaning is the spread (bandwidth) of the observations for the Kernel calculation. If zero is provided, the routine applies an empirical estimate, returned in the Ltuple output.

• Ladaptiveiterations: adaptive scaling where the length scales are adapted on the data density already estimated. You can iterate. Default "0"

• optimizeheat : boolean which can turn on or off an algorithmic optimisation. Results should be identical. Default is to optimize

• myheatmapmethod: can be "Automatic", "GridKernel" or "DataKernel" (Results should be very similar except near boundaries)

• nmax: maximum number of data points. If actual data size is larger, approximatively nmax superobservations are calculated and a warning issued.

• otherargs...: all other optional arguments DIVAndrun can take (advection etc)

Output:

• dens: data density field (integral is one)
• Ltuple : The bandwidthth used (either the input value or the calculated ones)
• LCV : Likelihood Cross Validation estimator value (the higher the better) leave one out approach
• LSCV : Least Square Cross Validation estimator (the lower the better) leave-one-out approach

myfunny=DIVAndfun(x,f;mask=nothing,pmn=nothing,xi=nothing,len=nothing,epsilon2=nothing,kwargs...)

Provides a simplified interface to DIVAndrun and in return provides an interpolation FUNCTION rather than the gridded field of DIVAndrun

You can use ALL paramters you can use with DIVAndrun, but some of them are made optional here by using keywords.

The necessary input is the tuple of coordinates at which you have data points and the corresponding vector of data.

The output is an interpolation function you can call at any coordinate in a hypercube defined by the bounding box of your input data or the domain explicitely defined by keyword xi

If the user want more control on the grid he needs at least to provide xi, here with option to just provide vectors of coordinates in each direction (only works anyway for this case) so xi can be a tuple of vectors

You can use all keyword parameters of divand

Input:

• x: tuple of arrays of coordinates

• f: the value of the function to interpolate at the coordinates x`

Output:

• myfunny: the interpolation function. If you had two dimensional input (i.e. x was a tuple of two coordinates), you can evaluate the interpolation as myfunny(0.1,0.2) for example

xi,yi,bath = DIVAnd.load_bath(bath_name,isglobal,xi,yi)

Load the bathymetry from the netCDF file bathname. The parameter isglobal is true if the NetCDF file covers the whole globe and thus the last longitude point can be considered to be right next to the first longitude point. xi and yi are vectors containing the longitude and latitude grid onto which the bathymetry should be interpolated.

bx,by,b = DIVAnd.extract_bath(bath_name,isglobal,xi,yi)

Extract the bathymetry from the NetCDF file bathname. The parameter isglobal is true if the NetCDF file covers the whole globe and thus the last longitude point can be considered to be right next to the first longitude point. xi and yi are vectors defining the bounding box of the data. No interpolation is performed.

Convention: b is positive in the water and negative in the air.

The NetCDF file is expected to have the one dimensional variables lon and lat with the longitude (degrees East) and latitude (degrees North) and the two dimentional array bat with the digital terrain model (negative in water and positive above water). The order of the dimension should follow be: longitude and then latitude in Column-major ordering (or latitude and then longitude if the tool ncdump is used, which is based on Row-major ordering).

Example of the output of ncdump -h:

netcdf gebco_30sec_8 {
dimensions:
     lat = 2702 ;

xi,yi,mask = load_mask(bath_name,isglobal,xi,yi,level::Number)

Generate a land-sea mask based on the topography from the NetCDF file bathname. The parameter isglobal is true if the NetCDF file covers the whole globe and thus the last longitude point can be considered to be right next to the first longitude point. xi and yi are vectors containing the longitude and latitude grid onto which the bathymetry should be interpolated.

Convention: in the water, level is positive and in the air level is negative.

pm,pn = DIVAnd_metric(lon,lat)

Compute metric scale factors pm and pn based on the arrays longitude lon and latitude lat. The variables pm and pn represent the inverse of the local resolution in meters using the mean Earth radius.

mask,(pm,pn),(xi,yi) = DIVAnd.domain(bathname,bathisglobal,lonr,latr)

Generate a 2D geospatial domain based on the topography from the netCDF file bathname.

mask,(pm,pn,po),(xi,yi,zi) = DIVAnd.domain(bathname,bathisglobal,lonr,latr,depthr)

Generate a 3D geospatial domain based on the topography from the netCDF file bathname. If zlevel is :surface, then depthr is zero for the sea surface and positive in water (positive is down). If zlevel is :floor, then depthr is zero for the sea floor and positive in water (positive is up)

mask,(pm,pn,po,pp),(xi,yi,zi,ti) = domain(bathname,bathisglobal,lonr,latr,depthr,timer)

Generate a geospatial domain based on the topography from the netCDF file bathname.

mask,pmn,xyi = DIVAnd_rectdom(coord1,coord2,...)

Create a "rectangular" domain in n dimensions with the coordinates coord1 coord2... assuming a Catersian metric. This functions returns the mask mask, the coordinates (xi,yi,...) and the metric (pm,pn...).

For example:

mask,(pm,pn),(xi,yi) = DIVAnd_rectdom(range(0,stop=1,length=50),linspace(0,stop=1,length=50))

mask,pmn,xyi = DIVAnd_squaredom(n,coord)

Create a "square" domain in n dimensions with the coordinates coord assuming a Cartesian metric. This functions returns the mask mask, the coordinates (xi,yi,...) and the metrics (pm,pn...).

Example

mask,(pm,pn),(xi,yi) = DIVAnd_squaredom(2,range(0,stop=1,length=50))

TS = TimeSelectorYW(years,yearwindow,monthlists)

The structure TS handles the time aggregation based on years and monthlists. It is similar to TimeSelectorYearListMonthList except that the elements of yearlists are centred around years and span yearwindow years. yearlists is in fact constructed by adding and subtracting yearwindow/2 to every element of years.

TS = TimeSelectorYearListMonthList(yearlists,monthlists)

The structure TS handles the time aggregation based on yearlists and monthlists. yearlists is a vector of ranges (containing start and end years), for example [1980:1989,1990:1999,2000:2009,2010:2019].

monthlists is a vector of two-element vector (containing start and end months), for example [1:3,4:6,7:9,10:12].

The upper bound of a yearlist and monthlist element is considered inclusive. The range of years of 2010:2019 consideres all years upto and including the year 2009.

If a month range spans beyond December, then all Months must be specified, e.g. example [2:4,5:6,7:9,[10,11,12,1]] or [2:4,5:6,7:9,[10:12;1]]. However using [2:4,5:6,7:9,10:1] (bug!) will result in an empty month range.

Example

# seasonal climatology using all data from 1900 to 2020
# for winter (December-February), spring, summer, autumn

TS = DIVAnd.TimeSelectorYearListMonthList([1900:2020],[[12,1,2],[3,4,5],[6,7,8],[9,10,11]])

Note that for seasonal analyses, DIVAnd will only select observations within the provided year range (and not pick year-1 for December), for example

using DIVAnd
TS = DIVAnd.TimeSelectorYearListMonthList([1900:2020],[[12,1,2],[3,4,5],[6,7,8],[9,10,11]])
DIVAnd.select(TS,1,[DateTime(1899,12,31), DateTime(1900,1,1)])

This returns [0,1] i.e. the 1st observation is not used, while the second is used. There is no special case for the month 12.

If the data from e.g. December 1899 should be considered for a seasonal analysis for the year 1900-2020, one should shift the observations as follows:

obstime_shifted = copy(obstime)
obstime_shifted[Dates.month.(obstime) .== 12] .+= Dates.Year(1)

The analysis function should then use obstime_shifted while for the function saveobs is it recommended to use the original obstime vector.

DIVAnd.saveobs(filename,xy,ids;
               type_save = Float32,
               timeorigin = DateTime(1900,1,1,0,0,0),
               used = trues(size(ids)),
               )

Save the location and time of the observations in the netCDF file filename and their identifier ids. xy is a tuple with the vectors longitude, latitude, depth and time (as a vector of DateTime).

Optional arguments:

• type_save: the type to save the data (default Float32). However, the time is always saved as Float64.
• timeorigin: time origin for the time units attribute (default is

1900-01-01 00:00:00)

• used: allows one to subset the data to save only used variables in the netCDF file

DIVAnd.saveobs(filename,varname,value,xy,ids;
               type_save = Float32,
               timeorigin = DateTime(1900,1,1,0,0,0),
               used = trues(size(ids)),
               chunksize = 10_000,
               )

Save value and the location and time of the observation in the NetCDF file filename and their identifier ids. xy is a tuple with the vectors longitude, latitude, depth and time (as a vector of DateTime). The values will be saved in the variable called varname.

Optional arguments:

• type_save: the type to save the data (default Float32). However, the time is always saved as Float64.
• timeorigin: time origin for the time units attribute (default is

1900-01-01 00:00:00)

• used: allows to subset the data to save only used variables in the netCDF file

Note: in order to save only the observations used in the interpolation, one can use the dbinfo object as follows:

obsused = dbinfo[:used] # returned by diva3d
DIVAnd.saveobs(filename,(obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime),obsids,used=obsused)

obsvalue,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime,obsids = loadobs(T,filename,varname)
obsvalue,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime,obsids = loadobs(T,filenames,varname)

Load the variable varname from the netCDF file filename (or list of filenames). Coordinates (the netCDF variables "obslon", "obslat", "obsdepth"), time ("obstime") and identifiers ("obsids") will also be loaded. Numeric output arguments will have the type T.

obsvalue,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime,obsids = load(T,
  fname,param; qualityflags = [GOOD_VALUE, PROBABLY_GOOD_VALUE])

data,lon,lat,z,time,ids = SDN.load(T,fnames,param; qualityflags = ...)

Load all data in the vector of file names fnames corresponding to the parameter param as the data type T. Only the data with the quality flags SDN.good_data and SDN.probably_good_data are loaded per default. The output parameters correspond to the data, longitude, latitude, depth, time (as DateTime) and an identifier (as String).

data = loadvar(ds,param;
               fillvalue::T = NaN,
               qualityflags = [GOOD_VALUE, PROBABLY_GOOD_VALUE],
               qfname = param * QC_SUFFIX,
               )

Load the netCDF variable param from the NCDataset ds. Data points not having the provide quality flags will be masked by fillvalue. qfname is the netCDF variable name for the quality flags.

obsvalue,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime,obsids = NCODV.load(T,fname,long_name;
     qv_flags = ["good_value","probably_good_value"],
     nchunk = 10

)

Load all profiles in the file fname corresponding to netCDF variable with the long_name attribute equal to the parameter long_name. qv_flags is a list of strings with the quality flags to be kept. obsids is a vector of strings with the EDMO code and local CDI id concatenated by a hyphen.

nchunk is the number of profiles read at a time. Large values of nchunk can increase performance but requirer also more memory.

The variable with the following standard_name should exits:

• longitude
• latitude
• time

As well as the variable with the following long_name:

• LOCAL_CDI_ID
• EDMO_code or EDMO_CODE
• Depth

A guide how to export NetCDF files from ODV is available here

data = loaddata(sheet,profile,locname,fillvalue; fillmode = :repeat)

Load a single column referred by the local name locname in the profile profile from the ODV spreadsheet sheet. Empty values are either replaced by fillvalue (if fillmode is :fill) or the previous value if repeated (if fillmode is :repeat)

dt = parsejd(t)

Convert a Chronological Julian Day Number to a DateTime object. The reference value is taken from Chronological Julian Date

From the SDN standard: "A real number representing the Chronological Julian Date, which is defined as the time elapsed in days from 00:00 on January 1 st 4713 BC. ... "

The time origin is not noon (12:00) on Monday, January 1, 4713 BC as for the Julia Date Number.

v = myparse(T,s, i)

Parse the string s as a type T. Unlike Julia's parse function an error message contains the string s (which could not be parsed) for debugging.

bestfactorl,bestfactore, cvval,cvvalues, x2Ddata,y2Ddata,cvinter,xi2D,yi2D = DIVAnd_cv(mask,pmn,xi,x,f,len,epsilon2,nl,ne,method;...);

Performs a cross validation to estimate the analysis parameters (correlation length and signal-to-noise ratio).

Input

Same as for DIVAndrun with three more parameters nl,ne and method

• mask: binary mask delimiting the domain. true is inside and false outside.

For oceanographic application, this is the land-sea mask.

• pmn: scale factor of the grid. pmn is a tuple with n elements. Every element represents the scale factor of the corresponding dimension. Its inverse is the local resolution of the grid in a particular dimension.

• xi: tuple with n elements. Every element represents a coordinate of the final grid on which the observations are interpolated

• x: tuple with n elements. Every element represents a coordinate of the observations

• f: value of the observations minus the background estimate (m-by-1 array). (see note)

• len: correlation length

• epsilon2: error variance of the observations (normalized by the error variance of the background field). epsilon2 can be a scalar (all observations have the same error variance and their errors are decorrelated), a vector (all observations can have a difference error variance and their errors are decorrelated) or a matrix (all observations can have a difference error variance and their errors can be correlated). If epsilon2 is a scalar, it is thus the inverse of the signal-to-noise ratio.

• nl: number of testing points around the current value of L. 1 means one additional point on both sides of the current L. 0 is allowed and means the parameter is not optimised.

• ne: number of testing points around the current value of epsilon2. 0 is allowed as for nl

• method: cross validation estimator method 1: full CV 2: sampled CV 3: GCV 0: automatic choice between the three possible ones, default value

• Optional input arguments specified via keyword arguments are the same as for DIVAnd

Output:

• bestfactorl: best estimate of the multiplication factor to apply to len

• bestfactore: best estimate of the multiplication factor to apply to epsilon2

• cvvales : the cross validation values calculated

• factors : the tested multiplication factors

• cvinter : interpolated cv values for final optimisation

• X2Data, Y2Data : coordinates of sampled cross validation in L,epsilon2 space . Normally only used for debugging or plotting

• Xi2D, Yi2D : coordinates of interpolated estimator . Normally only used for debugging or plotting

The output bestfactorl and bestfactore represent multiplication factors which should be applied to L and epsilon2.

The len and epsilon2 provided should be close the real one as the tests will be performed around.

distx,covar,corr,varx,count = empiriccovar(x,v,distbin,mincount;
                          maxpoints = 10000,
                          distfun = (xi,xj) -> sqrt(sum(abs2,xi-xj)))

Compute the covariance, correlation and variance of a cloud of data points with the value v (a vector) and the location x (a tuple of vectors) grouped by distance. Random pairs are choosen and grouped by their distance (computed by distfun) in bins defined by distbin. The function try to fill at least mincount of data points in each bin but always stop after considering maxpoints pairs.

lenxy,dbinfo = DIVAnd.fithorzlen(x,value,z)

Determines the horizontal correlation length lenxy based on the measurments value at the location x (tuple of 3 vectors corresponding to longitude, latitude and depth) at the depth levels defined in z.

Optional arguments:

• smoothz (default 100): spatial filter for the correlation scale
• searchz (default 50): vertical search distance (can also be a function of the depth)
• maxnsamp (default 5000): maximum number of samples
• limitlen (default false): limit correlation length by mean distance between observations
• limitfun (default no function): a function with with the two arguments (depth and

estimated correlation length) which returns an adjusted correlation length. For example to force the correlation length to be between 300 km and 50 km one would use the following: limitfun = (z,len) -> max(min(len,300_000),10_000)). If provided limitfun is used before and after the smoothing.

• epsilon2 (default is a vector of the same size as value with all elements equal to 1): the relative error variance of the observations. Less reliable observation would have a larger corresponding value.
• distfun: function computing the distance between the points xi and xj.

Per default it represent the Euclidian distance.

lenz,dbinfo = DIVAnd.fitvertlen(x,value,z,...)

See also DIVAnd.fithorzlen

RL = lengraddepth(pmn,h, L;
                  h2 = h,
                  hmin = 0.001
                  )

Create the relative correlation length-scale field RL based on the bathymetry h and the metric pmn (tuple of arrays). Effectively the correlation-length scale is close to zero if the relative bathymetry gradients (|∇h|/h) are smaller than the length-scale L (in consistent units as pmn).

R_L = 1 / (1 + L |∇h| / max(h2,hmin))

Per default h2 is equal to h. The depth h must be positive. hmin must have the same units as h (usually meters).

theta = DIVAnd_cvestimator(s,residual)

Computes the cross validation estimator $(d-\hat{d})^T \mathbf R^{-1} (d-\hat{d}) / ( \mathbf 1^T \mathbf R^{-1} \mathbf 1)$ where the $\hat{d}$ is the analysis not using a data point.

 weights = weight_RtimesOne(x,len)

Compute the weight of the observations at location x to reduce the influence of locally clustered data. x is a tuple with n elements: every element represents a coordinate of the observations. len is a tuple of arrays representing the correlation length. len[i] is the correlation length in the i-th dimension.

Rtimesx!(coord,LS,x,Rx)

Gaussian type R matirx in ndim dimensions applied to vector x of length ndata. The Gaussian scale differs in each direction k : LS[k] Coordinates of point i are coord[i,1],coord[i,2],...,coord[i,ndim] To avoid an ndata² complexity a grid is set up first so as to allow only the calculation of covariances when distances are smaller than 3*LS

p = listSDNparam(ODVData)

Return a list of SeaDataNet P01 parameters in a ODV spreadsheet ODVData.

 obsvalue,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime,obsids = load(T,fnames,datanames;
    qv_flags = [DIVAnd.ODVspreadsheet.GOOD_VALUE,
                DIVAnd.ODVspreadsheet.PROBABLY_GOOD_VALUE],
    nametype = :P01,
    qvlocalname = "QV:SEADATANET")

Load all the profiles from every files listed in the array fnames corresponding to one of the parameter names datanames. If nametype is :P01 (default), the datanames are P01 vocabulary names with the SDN prefix. If nametype is :localname, then they are the ODV column header without units.

For example if the column header is Water body salinity [per mille], then datenames should be ["Water body salinity"]. The resulting vectors have the data type T (expect times and ids which are vectors of DateTime and String respectively). Only values matching the quality flag qv_flags are retained. qv_flags is a vector of Strings (based on http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L20/current/, e.g. "1" means "good value"). One can also use the constants these constants (prefixed with DIVAnd.ODVspreadsheet.):

qvlocalname is the column name to denote quality flags. It is assumed that the quality flags follow immediately the data column.

If the ODV does not contain a semantic header (e.g. for the aggregated ODV files), then local names must be used.

julia> data,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime,obsids = DIVAnd.ODVspreadsheet.load(Float64,["data_from_med_profiles_non-restricted_v2.txt"],
      ["Water body salinity"]; nametype = :localname );

In order to read ODV spreasheet containing World Ocean Database file odvfile, one can use a command like:

julia> obsval,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obstime,obsid = ODVspreadsheet.load(Float64,[odvfile],
                           ["Temperature"]; qv_flags=["0", "1"], nametype = :localname, qvlocalname = "QV:WOD");

i.e.,

• explicitely specifying the accepted flags qv_flags
• set qvlocalname as "QV:WOD".

Note: no checks are performed to ensure the units are consistent.

 profiles,lons,lats,depths,times,ids = load(T,dir,P01names)

Load all the ODV files under the directory dir corresponding the one of the parameter names P01names. The resulting vectors have the data type T (expect times and ids which are vectors of DateTime and String, respectively).

No checks are done to ensure the units are consistent.

list = localnames(sheet,P01name)

Return a list list of all local names mapping to the specified P01name in the ODV spreadsheet sheet without the prefix "SDN:LOCAL:".

list = localnames(sheet)

Return a list list of all local names in the ODV spreadsheet sheet without the prefix "SDN:LOCAL:" in the order as they appear in the ODV file.

Define composite type that will contain:

• the metadata (dictionary),
• SDN parameter mapping (dictionary)
• the column labels (array) and
• the profiles (array of arrays).

 data,data_qv,obslon,obslat,obsdepth,obsdepth_qv,obstime,obstime_qv,EDMO,LOCAL_CDI_ID =
 loadprofile(T,sheet,iprofile,dataname; nametype = :P01)

Load a iprofile-th profile from the ODV spreadsheet sheet of the parameter dataname. If nametype is :P01 (default), the dataname is the P01 vocabulary name with the SDN prefix. If nametype is :localname, then it is the ODV column header. The resulting vectors have the data type T (expect the quality flag and obstime) .

data,data_qv = loaddataqv(sheet,profile,locname,fillvalue; fillmode = :repeat)

x,cgsuccess,niter = conjugategradient(fun!,b)

Solve a linear system with the preconditioned conjugated-gradient method: A x = b where A is a symmetric positive defined matrix and b is a vector. Equivalently the solution x minimizes the cost function J(x) = ½ xᵀ A x - bᵀ x.

The function fun!(x,fx) computes fx which is equal to A*x. For example:

function fun!(x,fx)
    fx[:] = A*x
end

Note that the following code will NOT work, because a new array fx would be created and it would not be passed back to the caller.

function fun!(x,fx)
    fx = A*x # bug!
end

The function fun! works in-place to reduce the amount of memory allocations.

Optional input arguments

• x0: starting vector for the interations
• tol: tolerance on |Ax-b| / |b|
• maxit: maximum of interations
• pc!: the preconditioner. The functions pc(x,fx) computes fx = M⁻¹ x (the inverse of M times x) where M is a symmetric positive defined matrix. Effectively, the system E⁻¹ A (E⁻¹)ᵀ (E x) = E⁻¹ b is solved for (E x) where E Eᵀ = M. Ideally, M should this be similar to A, so that E⁻¹ A (E⁻¹)ᵀ is close to the identity matrix. The function pc! should be implemented in a similar way than fun! (see above).

Output

• x: the solution
• cgsuccess: true if the interation converged (otherwise false)
• niter: the number of iterations

pc_none!(x,fx)

Dummy call-back function when no preconditioner is used. fx will be equal to x.
