Hi Chris -

Here are a couple of files from buoy's
/Users/shared/UOPSoftware/matlabwork/ships/stratus2009

One runs ftp (get_argos_ftp). The other is the version that
needs to be renamed get_argos_no_ftp.

The ftp version picks up the mat file directly from the argos
processing directory at whoi.

In the latest rev, I used an intermediate script that will get
whatever type of argos data you're using, whether AO, ftp,
or ... tbd, so I needed to rename this file (get_argos) to
get_argos_no_ftp.

There are several choices for non-AO argos data.
- use a local copy of the UOP real-time processing system's mat file
--    acquired outside of Matlab (via lftp or other)
--    acquired with Matlab's ftp
- use a text file scraped  from the UOP web site

uop.whoi.edu/projects/WHOTS/data/whots_7_lgr_9.txt
uop.whoi.edu/projects/WHOTS/data/whots_7_lgr_10.txt
uop.whoi.edu/projects/WHOTS/data/whots_8_lgr_7.txt
uop.whoi.edu/projects/WHOTS/data/whots_8_lgr_8.txt

The matfile is not so much better, since the data  is still just
stored in arrays in the real time Argos processing.  The text
file is matlab-friendly, with %% headers and column names.

The _ftp program includes a line
  [username,password]=get_account(); where get_account
should just return the remote account information - mine,
actually. Let me know if you need that at any point.

Our firewall prevents you from getting to most machines
at whoi via ftp, so the real time processing directories,
which are on ocelot (behind the firewall) are exported to
buoy via nfs. WHOTS argos processing is at:
/Users/nan/ocelot/Users/Shared/Argos/whots/d7
/Users/nan/ocelot/Users/Shared/Argos/whots/d8

All clear?

Nan
