Dear ODV User: Version 4.5.0 of Ocean Data View is now available for download from http://odv.awi.de/en/software/download/ (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris-i386). This is a major release with many new features and bug-fixes. ODV now supports local and remote netCDF4 files, and data retrievals from netCDF files are now much faster than before. ODV collections now support data variables of type text, which allows maintaining text descriptions, comments or web-links per data value. Web-links are clickable and ODV opens the link in web browser. ODV now has an importer for Sea-Bird .cnv files. For a detailed list of recent changes see below. Reiner Schlitzer ***ODV4 Release 4.5.0 (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris-i386) May/15/2012: -- NetCDF files on remote OpenDAP servers (frequently used for model output files and climate data resources) can now be opened and analyzed via File>Open Remote. Transferred data are cached locally and not transmitted a second time. -- Open netCDF file wizard now provides reasonable defaults for all four steps and in many cases can be run through by simply pressing OK each time. -- Drastic performance improvements when loading data into SCATTER and SURFACE windows from netCDF files (local or remote). -- Data variables of type TEXT are now supported in ODV spreadsheet, SeaDataNet data files and ODV collections. See section 16.3.2 in the ODV User's Guide for more information. -- New importer for Sea-Bird .cnv files. -- New "Automatic scale lengths" mode determines gridding length scales automatically. This is now the default setting for new data windows. -- DIVA gridding can now be run in a mode that prevents negative gridded values. -- Window Layout mode now allows changes of the data window drawing order. Individual windows may now be brought to foreground or background. -- The geostrophic velocity calculator now detects zero-distance station pairs and outputs the station pair distance in additional meta-variable "Distance". BUG FIXES -- Axis with Chronological Julian Date are now properly annotated. -- New version of DIVA mesh generator eliminates DIVA failures under rare circumstances. -- DIVA direction constraints were effectively switched off since release 4.4.2. This has been fixed. -- Many small fixes. |
