Current Deployment Data for Buoy J0401, Instrument diagnostics

Listings below include NetCDF and possibly MATLAB binary and CSV files (suitable for Excel users). The NetCDF and MATLAB files are basically equivalent, but the CSV has just about all of the metadata stripped out of it, and will not contain any multidimensional time variables. The NetCDF files are always going to be slightly more current than the other files.

There are two kinds of data sources being used. The primary source is usually data relayed in via cell phone, but a backup transmission route via the GOES satellite was added. The GOES data stream has more frequent transmission problems and should be considered a backup to use in in case of problems with the cell phones. So which should I use? Well, basically you should look at the time extents. If the "cell phone" NetCDF file is anywhere close to current, use that. otherwise use the "GOES".
