Title: RAFOS float processing at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Abstract: This report and its accompanying webpage (http://www.whoi.edu/science/PO/rafos/index.htm)describe the processing steps for RAFOS floats, from subscribing to Service Argos to plotting the final data for a data report.The MATLAB-based tracking software ARTOA-II is described in detail.ARTOA-II allows the user to convert raw hexidecimal data to decimal format, calculate float clock drifts, edit raw data, and use the time-of-arrival data to calculate float trajectories.
