SVMOP:Projects: New Design Ideas for Tide Tools 02/09/2009 19:59

Well, I found my bug in my lowpass filter. I had two variables, with very similar names, being used for the same thing. But one wasn't recalculated as it should have been, the result was that I had figured weighting numbers based on, say a window of 15 points, but only summing 11. That filter looks pretty good now.

I believe that it was a mistake to put the interpolator inside of the data convertor program. I need to destroy outliers BEFORE I do any interpolation.

Also, I'm not convinced that straight-line interpolation will suit our needs. I'm thinking more in the lines of a circular arc fit.

So now, the path might be:

  • convert from pressure to depth
  • do data cleaning using a slope corrected standard deviation over a window
  • interpolate and resample (I think I can combine these)
  • smooth (low pass filter)
  • find peaks, MLLW, constituents, etc.
  • compare prediction methods with cleaned but unsmoothed data
