bathymetry_extract

Syntax

[bathy] =  bathymetry_extract(bathymetry_dir,region)

Description

[bathy] = bathymetry_extract(bathymetry_dir,region) extracts Smith & Sandwell Global Topography in path bathymetry_dir over the specified rectangular region. Struct bathy has fields z, lat, and lon. Struct bathy has fields z, lat, and lon and contains only the data from the specified region.

bathymetry_dir is the character array path to the Smith & Sandwell Global Topography file "topo_20.1.nc"

region is a vector containing the bounds [S N W E] of the search region, with limits [-90 90 -180 180]. Limits may cross the dateline e.g. [35 45 170 -130].

Example 1

% Extract relevant bathymetry over a region:

bathymetry_dir = '/Users/lnferris/Documents/data/bathymetry/topo_20.1.nc';
region = [-60.0 -50.0 150.0 160.0];
[bathy] = bathymetry_extract(bathymetry_dir,region);

Example 2

% Extract relevant bathymetry around struct argo:

bathymetry_dir = '/Users/lnferris/Documents/data/bathymetry/topo_20.1.nc';
region = bounding_region(argo);
[bathy] = bathymetry_extract(bathymetry_dir,region);
