NEMO installation• Open the install_nemo_1.4.4_windows.zip file (on the

desktop)• Unzip it• Double click on launcher_nemo.bat• Follow the installation procedure• Don’t forget to add the NEMO shortcut on your desktop



Collection of ASCII files

• Training data set– 6 CTDs raw files under

SDN tools/Practical work/data/input files– ASCII files with measured parameters in

column

– Measured parameters = Depth, Temperature, Salinity, Fluorescence and Dissolved oxygen



First step : conversion to ODV with NEMO

• Run NEMO to convert the files to ODV format.

1. Modify the settings of NEMO• Default directories for data set to

SDN tools/Practical work/data

– Default directories for data set toSDN tools/Practical work/models

– Enter your EDMO ID in the field below using the search function (right click)

2. Proceed the 4 steps of NEMO



NEMO – File description

• Choose the type of file (cruise directory, cruise file, …)• Browse your PC to input the data files directory• Once the file is open in NEMO, have a look to its content• Choose file type : Profile• Choose the output format : ODV, one unique file for all

stations or One file per station• Enter the Station header information

– there is a specific character string at the end of each Station header : *END*

• The Data termination indicator is EOF (End of file)• Validate the step when description is OK



NEMO – Station description• Station number is given on line “**Station”• Data type is ‘CTD stations’• Time is U.T.• Latitude format is NDD MM.mm• Longitude format is NDDD.MM.mm• Bottom Depth is not available• Input all the mandatory fields : station number, time, date,

latitude, longitude• Use the Test function to verify your input• Validate the step when description is OK



NEMO – Data description (1)

• Select the parameter list to use : P011 via P021• Add the parameters : P021 codes are

– Depth : AHGT, Temperature : TEMP, Salinity : PSAL, Fluorescence : FVLT, Dissolved oxygen : DOXY, Input the units of the parameters (for salinity, use Dimensionless)

– Add a text label to each parameter• Set Start and End positions for the parameters• Tell NEMO which code is the vertical reference



NEMO – Data description (2)

• Format is mandatory– Describe the output format that you want– %6.1f : means 6 digits total (decimal point included),

1 digit for decimal, f for float (decimal number)– Use the contextual menu ‘Select the format’ for

predefined format• Use the test fields to validate your input• Validate the step when description is OK• Save you model in the model directory



File conversion• You will be asked to give :• A dataset reference (can be a cruise name, for

example)• A name for the output file (all the stations in the same

file) or name for the output directory (one station per file) in the SDN tools\Practical work\output directory

• Have a look to the output files• Drag and drop the ODV files in ODV to test their

conformity

Creation of the CDI-SUMMARY and the coupling table

• Input the information in NEMO SETTINGS– Mapping

• Click in the box Generate mapping for SeaDataNet download Manager

– SeaDataNET CDI summary• Unfold the SeaDataNet CDI Summary block

• Click in the box Generate SeaDataNet CDI summary• Fulfill all the mandatory fields (in red), using right click for

the Search function



Run the file conversion• Same file than in the previous exercise• You will be asked to give :• A dataset reference (can be a cruise name, for example)• A name for the CDI summary file • A name for the output file (all the stations in the same file) or

name for the output directory (one station per file) • An output directory prefix (for the coupling table). This prefix

will be subtracted from the file name in the mapping table. For example if – output file name = C:\username\NEMO\cruise_name\

file_name– and output directory prefix = C:\username\NEMO– file name in the mapping table will be : cruise_name\

file_name



CDI summary file

• Convert it to an EXCEL file (for future use by MIKADO)– Open the CDI summary text file with EXCEL (field

delimited by tabulations)– Rename the folder into : STATION– Save it under XLS or XLSX format, it will be used

later on during the practical work on MIKADO



Coupling table• Have a look at the coupling table

– Menu : Coupling_table>Edit

– It gives the link between the LOCAL_CDI_ID and the file in which the LOCAL_CDI_ID will be found by the download manager of SeaDataNet

– MODUS = 1 if the LOCAL_CDI_ID is in a mono-station file

– MODUS = 3 if the LOCAL_CDI_ID is in a multi-station file

– One LOCAL_CDI_ID and one format is unique in the coupling table

– Add and delete records

• Export the coupling table in a flat file

– Menu : Coupling_table>Export

– Have a look at the flat coupling.txt file

VALIDATOR



a) Configuration file for CDI XML• Run MIKADO• Open the configuration file delivered with NEMO :

– MIKADO => Automatic/Open/CDI the configuration file is in the HOME_DIRECTORY of NEMO, but for

the training it is under \Practical work\config , file summary_CDI_NEMO.xml

• Make the connection with the Excel file that you have created with NEMO (the Excel file must be closed to avoid conflict access)

• Check the connection (you must have a green message)• Go to the Queries tag and have a look at the queries• Check them (green message after check all)• Save your configuration file



a) XML file generation

• Run Automatic/Generate/CDI– Open the configuration file \Practical work\config\summary_CDI_NEMO.xml

• Choose the export directory (where CDI XML files will be written)

– Choose the type of export file you want :• XML files• Zip file containing the XML files• Both (XML and Zip)

• Open one XML export file to have a look at it with MIKADO Manual>Open>File>CDI



a) Web validation service: Validator

• Check the XML file with the Web validation Service at : http://www.seadatanet.org/validator

• Select the CDI catalogue• Validate file with CDI Xml schema• Upload one of the XML file that has been generated• Validate the file• Look at the result of the validation : you must have no error,

you can have some warnings depending on the vocabulary versions.



b) Coupling configuration file• Run MIKADO• Open the configuration file delivered with NEMO :

– MIKADO => Tools/Coupling table for download manager/ Import CDI configuration

the configuration file is the same than in a) ) in the config directory

• Check the connection to the excel file \Practical work\config\CDI_summary_with_address.xls

• Go to the main query tag and check the query (you must have a green message)

• Go to Modus 1 or Modus 3, choose the output format and fulfill the query which retrieve the file address in the excel file

• Check it• Preview the coupling file• Save your coupling configuration file



b) Coupling file generation• Run the generation of the coupling file

– MIKADO => Tools/Coupling table for download manager/ generate/ Modus 1 or Modus 3 depending on your ODV file(s)

• Select the configuration file for coupling that you just create• Select the output directory• Choose the mode for writing• Generate the coupling file• Open it with a text editor



Exercise 2

• EDIOS manual input of– 1 Program

– 1 Series

– 1 Platform



Under SDN_tools\practical_work • Under \EDIOS__POSEIDON_Example\EDIOS_Data• Open the EDIOS_POSEIDON.xls file describing the EDIOS program,

series and platforms (1 program, 15 series,15 platforms)

• Input the program information into MIKADO and create the corresponding XML file

• Input 1 series information into MIKADO and create the corresponding XML file

• Input the platform related to the previous series in MIKADO and create the corresponding XML file

• Why can’t you first enter a platform, then a series then a program?



Exercise 3

• EDIOS Automatic generation of XML files for:– Program

– Series

– Platforms



Under SDN_tools\practical_work • \EDIOS__POSEIDON_Example\EDIOS_Data• Open the EDIOS_POSEIDON.xls file describing the EDIOS program, series

and platforms (1 program,15 series, 15 platforms)

• Run MIKADO to create the automatic query to retrieve the program information– Or open the already written XML configuration for MIKADO for EDIOS program : \

EDIOS__POSEIDON_Example\queries\poseidon_edios_program.xml

• Run MIKADO to create the automatic query to retrieve the series information– Or open the already written XML configuration for MIKADO for EDIOS program : \

EDIOS__POSEIDON_Example\queries\poseidon_edios_series.xml

• Run MIKADO to create the automatic query to retrieve the program information– Or open the already written XML configuration for MIKADO for EDIOS platform : \

EDIOS__POSEIDON_Example\queries\poseidon_edios_platform.xml



Generate the XML EDIOS files• EDIOS PROGRAM
