Introduction

Through this tutorial, you will learn in the first part how to import, visualise, and extract data from an ODV collection by using the ODV Galaxy interactive tool. In the second part, you will learn how to use DIVAnd using the inputs the outputs from ODV.

Ocean Data View (ODV) is a software package for the interactive exploration, analysis and visualization of oceanographic and other geo-referenced profile, time-series, trajectory, or sequence data. To know more about ODV go check the official page

DIVAnd (Data-Interpolating Variational Analysis in n dimensions) performs an n-dimensional variational analysis/gridding of arbitrarily located observations. Observations will be interpolated/analyzed on a curvilinear grid in 1, 2, 3 or more dimensions. See the official page

  10. Extra information

The data here are Mediterranean Sea - Eutrophication and Acidity aggregated datasets EMODnet Chemistry aims to provide access to marine chemistry datasets and derived data products concerning eutrophication, acidity, and contaminants. The importance of the selected substances and other parameters relates to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD). This aggregated dataset contains all unrestricted EMODnet Chemistry data on eutrophication and acidity and covers the Mediterranean Sea. Data were aggregated and quality controlled by the ‘Hellenic Centre for Marine Research, Hellenic National Oceanographic Data Centre (HCMR/HNODC)’ in Greece. To get more ODV collection and other data please search the sextant catalogue or the EMODnet Chemistry catalogue.

ITS-90 water temperature and water body salinity variables have also been included (‘as are’) to complete the eutrophication and acidity data. If you use these variables for calculations, please refer to SeaDataNet for the quality flags: https://www.seadatanet.org/Products/Aggregated-datasets.

Regional datasets concerning eutrophication and acidity are automatically harvested, and the resulting collections are aggregated and quality-controlled using ODV Software and following a common methodology for all sea regions Lipizer et al. 2023. Parameter names are based on P35 vocabulary, which relates to EMODnet Chemistry aggregated parameter names and is available at: https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/search_nvs/P35/.

When not present in the original data, water body nitrate plus nitrite was calculated by summing all nitrate and nitrite parameters. The same procedure was applied for water body dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), which was calculated by summing all nitrate, nitrite, and ammonium parameters. Concentrations per unit mass were converted to a unit volume using a constant density of 1.025 kg/L.

Workflow human in the loop

Now you’ve got your workflow running, however this workflow is composed of both interactive and non interactive tools. Thus, for the interactive tools we need you !

Ocean Data view: Managing an interactive tool

ODV is now integrated in Galaxy as an interactive tool. This kind of tool works differently than classical tools as it allows the user to interact interactively with your data. This kind of tool is used to give access to Jupyter Notebooks, RStudio or R Shiny apps for example.

To use ODV, you need to use the dedicated form, you can specify input datasets from your history you want to use in ODV, then press the execute button to launch an ODV instance. When the graphical user interface of ODV is ready to be used, a URL will be displayed at the top of the Galaxy center panel. If you don’t see it, you can see and access it through the “Active InteractiveTools” space of the “User” menu or you can click on galaxy-eye on the tool in the history.

Once you finish your work on ODV, if you want to retrieve data and/or the entire project, you need to save files in ODV/galaxy/outputs, then quit ODV properly through the “Project” Menu tab.

To get in the interactive tool do the folowing

  1. Go to User > Active InteractiveTools
  2. Wait for the ODV to be running (Job Info)
  3. Click on ODV

Visualise your Data

You can expand the ODV left panel (where there are 3 dots, vertically) to access the “clipboard” menu and paste the content you want to paste on an ODV form. From there you can copy-paste everything from one side to the other. Then, click outside of this panel to collapse it.

Image showing in transparent on the left of the ODV interface the clipboard.

If at one point your ODV interface becomes grey with a red panel on the top “X ODV - Disconnected”, do NOT panic ;) you just need to reload your tab (circular arrow top left)

Hands-on: Loading data
  1. Click on close of the pop-up screen for the check for Updates
  2. Go the top left and click on File, then on Open…
  3. On the pop-up screen on the left panel select ODV, then the folder galaxy, then data. You should see a folder open it (double clicking)
  4. Select the file with a .odv extension Screenshot of what your pop-up screen should be like when selecting the right data.
  5. Click on Open in the bottom right

There your data should be opening an you can now visualise them!

Subset Data

Hands-on: Create a subset
  1. On the left smaller map right click and select Zoom
  2. Then move your cursor on the map you should see a red rectangle moving along
  3. Reduce the rectangular to have the selection you want on the map. It can be something similar to the following image (no need to be exactly the same) Selection on the map of the part of the data that you want to analyse.
  4. Once you’re happy with your selection click on Enter on your keyboard. Result of the subsetting and how the maps should look now.

Here you have created a a subset of your data.

  1. Go to the central map
  2. Click right and select Properties…
  3. For example, make your data dots bigger in “Display Style” increase the number below “Symbol Size” to 50, and click OK Image on how to change the size of your dots.

You can now see bigger dots representing your data. Image of your maps after the increase of the dots' size.

If you already saved it once you just have to click left on the save icon (top left) when it’s red.

Save Data

Hands-on: Choose Your Own Tutorial

This is a "Choose Your Own Tutorial" section, where you can select between multiple paths. Click one of the buttons below to select how you want to follow the tutorial

  2. Wait for the ODV to be running (Job Info)
  3. Click on ODV

  1. Click on close of the pop-up screen for the check for Updates
  2. Go the top left and click on File, then on Open…
  3. On the pop-up screen on the left panel select ODV, then the folder galaxy, then data. You should see a file open it (double clicking)
  4. Click on Open in the bottom right. Then click on Next until you can click on Finish you can keep everything by default.

There your data should be opening and you can now visualise them! Image of what the netcdf files look like when opening with ODV.

Hands-on: Visualise your Phosphate variable
  1. Go on the big + on the top left
  2. Select “1 SURFACE Window” Create a surface plot for the phosphate.
  3. Press right on the new plot and select Properties… Going to the properties of the plot.
  4. In the tab “Display Style” increase the “Symbol size” to 22 for instance
  5. In the tab “Color Mapping” increase the level of the “Median” part and lower the “Nonlinearity” such as in the following picture Balance the colors of the map to better visualise the Phosphate repartition.
  6. Then, click on OK, and you can see the Phosphate repartition.

  7. Click right on the map and select Save Plot As…
  8. In the pop-up screen go to the folder ODV, galaxy, outputs.
  9. In Files of type select PNG (*.png *.PNG) and Save then OK and OK.

    If you want to have a visualisation of the Phosphate according to the depth, you can do the following.

  10. Go on the big + on the top left
  11. Select “1 STATION Window” in the new tab, in the plot press enter on your keyboard.
  12. Same as before to save it, click right on the map and select Save Plot As…
  13. In Files of type select PNG (*.png *.PNG) and Save then OK and OK.

    You can now safely exit ODV.

  14. On the top left click on File select Exit
  15. If you want to save the other window also click on Yes. Here we don’t need it so click No.

Conclusion

Great you now know how to extract ocean variables from an ODV collection and use these extracted data in DIVAnd. From there you can grid the phosphate variable on the subset extracted create a netcdf file and visualise it on ODV again. We finished with the last results visible on the galaxy instance in the output ODV all outputs : Resulting map of the Phoshate variable repartition in the Mediterranean sea. Resulting graph of the phosphate variable according to the depth.
