Raw SBE 26 Pressure data - uploaded/converted from instruments
The SeaBird SBE 26 pressure/temperature recorders were deployed every 6 months from April 2008 to present (see timeline) along the Red Sea coast at Jeddah, Thuwal and Rabigh, Saudi Arabia by attaching the instruments to a local pier support at a nominal depth of 3m. The total pressure (water and air) data files named *.hex (binary, *.tid (ascii), and *.wb (ascii) are available here for every deployment in original SeaBird format.
The SBE Sea Gauge pressure data files from each of the 5 deployments are named
sgXXXX_Jed_mmyyyy.tid for Jeddah, where XXXX is the instrument id number, mm/yyyy is the month and year when recovered.
sgXXXX_Thu_mmyyyy.tid for Thuwal
sgXXXX_Rab_mmyyyy.tid for Rabigh
The data format is Record# mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss pressure(psia) temperature(C)
for example 1 05/11/2010 13:30:00 14.3806 27.457
The pressure data from deployment D1 is in a zip file named uploads_pres_oct2008.zip
The pressure data from deployment D2 is in a zip file named uploads_pres_apr2009.zip
The pressure data from deployment D3 is in a zip file named uploads_pres_oct2009.zip
The pressure data from deployment D4 is in a zip file named uploads_pres_may2010.zip
The pressure data from deployment D5 is in a zip file named uploads_pres_oct2010.zip
The pressure data from deployment D6 is in a zip file named uploads_pres_may2011.zip
Edited SBE 26 Pressure data - Matlab format
The raw ascii pressure data was loaded into Matlab arrays, time was converted to julian day (see julian.m and gregorian.m), the data was edited, centered in the averaging bin, and the data outof the water was deleted.
The SBE Sea Gauge pressure Matlab data files from the 1st deployments are named
jed1sg3m300s.mat for Jeddah, where 1 is 1st deployment, 3m is the nominal depth, 300 sec is the avaraging interval.
thu1sg3m300s.mat for Thuwal
thu1sg3m300s.mat for Rabigh
The data are in arrays of jdaysg1 pressg1 tempsg1 latitude longitude depth instdepth SN mooring st(startime) et(endtime)
The edited pressure data, mfiles used for editing, plots and a perl editing program from deployment D1 are in a zip file named edit_pres_oct2008.zip
