Qimera Extract Dynamic Surface Layer

How to Start

• Extract Dynamic Surface Layer option from Dynamic Surface menu of Main Menu bar

What it Does

Extract a layer, such as the Sounding Density, from a dynamic surface and adds it to the scene as an Sd Object.  The layers available for extraction will vary depending on if the Dynamic Surface was created with the CUBE algorithm or not.  Standard Dynamic Surfaces only contain the Bin Count and the Uncertainty layers.  CUBE surfaces will also contain the CUBE Uncertainty, CUBE Number of Hypotheses and CUBE Hypothesis Strength.

Note that CUBE Uncertainty layer is different than the usual Dynamic Surface Uncertainty layer.

• The regular Uncertainty layer for a Dynamic Surface reflects the standard deviation, scaled to 95% c.l., of all accepted soundings, regardless of whether or not they are used for a CUBE surface. It does not include rejected soundings in the calculation.
• The CUBE Uncertainty layer reflects the standard deviation, scaled to 95% c.l., of the accepted soundings that contributed to the selected hypothesis.

In both cases, the standard deviation is scaled to 95% c.l. via the scaling factor of 1.96.

General Description

Use this option after selecting a dynamic surface to extract a property layer from a dynamic surface.  The operation can be applied to the entire Dynamic Surface or simply a selection of the Dynamic Surface.
