NAME

       gmtlist - A data-extractor for <legid>.gmt files


SYNOPSIS

       gmtlist leg-ids [ -Ccorrectionfile ] [ -Dastartdate ] [ -Dbstopdate ] [
       -Fflags ] [ -G ] [ -H ] [ -Rwest/east/south/north ] [ -Sastartdist ]  [
       -Sbstopdist ] [ -V ] [ -Wweight ] [ -b ]


DESCRIPTION

       gmtlist  reads  <legid>.gmt files and produces an ASCII [or binary] ta-
       ble. The <legid>.gmt files contain time(s), latitude(y),  longitude(x),
       gravity(g/G),  magnetics(m/M),  and  bathymetry(t/T),  and the user may
       extract any combination of these 6 parameters  +  distance(d),  heading
       (h),  velocity (v), and weight (w, see -W). A sub-section can be speci-
       fied by passing time- or distance-intervals along track or by selecting
       a region.

       leg-ids
              Can  be  one  or  more cruisenames. To give a list of names, use
              ‘cat list_of_legs‘.


OPTIONS

       No space between the option flag and the associated arguments

       -C     Apply crossover Corrections to the data. If no  correction  file
              is  given, gmtlist reads the default correction file. (See XSYS-
              TEM for how to set up your own correction file).

       -Da    Do not list data collected before  startdate  (mm/dd/yyyy/hh:mm)
              [Default is first day].

       -Db    Do  not  list  data collected after stopdate (mm/dd/yyyy/hh:mm).
              [Default is last day].

       -F     Can be any combination of syxgmtdhv to indicate the desired out-
              put  data. The data will appear in the order indicated by flags.
              If GMT is substituted for gmt, only records that have that  com-
              bination  of data are written out. If s is followed by c (calen-
              dar), then yyyy/mm/dd/hh/mm/ss is written out, if s is  followed
              by  j (julian), then yyyy/jd/hh/mm/ss is written out. Default is
              seconds from start of year.

       -G     Force Geographical longitudes (-180/+180) rather  than  geodetic
              (0-360) [Default].

       -H     Issue a header record with names for each data field.

       -Sa    Do  not  list  data  that are less than startdist km along track
              from port of departure. [Default is 0].

       -Sb    Do not list data that are more than stopdist km along track from
              port of departure. [Default is length of track].

       -V     Selects verbose mode, which will send progress reports to stderr
              [Default runs "silently"].


EXAMPLES

       To get a (distance, heading, crossover-corrected  gravity,  bathymetry)
       listing  from  c2104.gmt,  starting  at June 3 1971 20:45 and ending at
       distance = 5000 km, use the following command:

       gmtlist c2104 -Da6/3/1971/20:45 -Sb5000 -Fdhgt -C > myfile

       To make input for blockmean and surface using all the cruises listed in
       the  file  gmt.list,  but  only  the data that are inside the specified
       area, and make output binary:

       gmtlist ‘cat gmt.list‘ -Fxyg -R-40/-30/25/35 -b > allgrav.xyg
