Argo Spain Web Page

This repository contains the operational scripts and processing pipeline used to generate and maintain the Argo Spain web platform:

https://www.argoespana.es

The system automatically transforms Argo float data into web-ready products including interactive maps, operational summaries, tables, float monitoring pages, technical diagnostics, and automatic reports. The workflow is mainly based on MATLAB processing modules coordinated through Bash scripts, while Leaflet is used for interactive web visualization.

Web Products

• Argo Spain Main Page
• Argo Spain Status Map
• Argo Spain Interactive Map
• Iberian Basin Regional Status
• Argo Spain Float Table
• Argo Spain Float Table (TXT)
• Argo Spain Summary
• Argo Spain Technical Report

System Overview

Main components:

• Bash – workflow and pipeline orchestration
• MATLAB – data ingestion, processing, diagnostics, and figure generation
• Leaflet – interactive web maps
• HTML outputs – operational web products and reports

Main Script

The complete operational workflow is executed through:

argoSpainWebPage.sh

This script:

• Organizes the complete processing pipeline
• Executes MATLAB modules sequentially
• Updates web products
• Handles execution logs
• Cleans obsolete files
• Generates automatic reports
• Sends notification emails

MATLAB Modules

Configuration

configWebPage.m

Defines:

• Directory paths
• Data source locations
• Output directories
• Website configuration
• Processing parameters

Dataset Generation

createDataSet.m

Generates the datasets used by the operational system.
Currently the workflow uses two principal datasets:

dataArgoSpain.mat
dataArgoInterest.mat

These datasets include:

• Argo Spain floats
• Regional floats of interest
• Float metadata
• Profile information
• Position data
• Temporal information
• Technical parameters

Map Generation

Static Maps

Generates gJson files that are read by the hmtl files static visualizations of float trajectories and positions.

createDataSetMap.m

Interactive Maps

Creates Leaflet-based interactive maps integrated into the web interface.

createRegionGeoJSON.m
createDataSet_GeoJSON.m

Associated web pages:

• argoregionstatus.html : Iberian Basin regional status
• argoesstatus.html : Argo Spain status

Tables and Summaries

Float Tables

Creates operational tables summarizing float activity and metadata.

createDataSet_Table.m

Operational Summary

Generates summary statistics and regional monitoring products.

createDataSet_Summary.m

Float Status Pages

The float monitoring pages are generated through a modular processing structure.

Main processing:

createDataSetStatus

Supporting modules:

createDataSetStatus_FunctionMetadata.m
createDataSetStatus_FunctionProfiles.m
createDataSetStatus_FunctionTechnicalData.m
createDataSetStatus_FunctionSections.m
createDataSetStatus_FunctionFigures.m
createDataSetStatus_FunctionReport.m
createDataSetStatus_FunctionTrajectory.m

These modules generate:

• Float metadata pages
• Profile summaries
• Technical diagnostics
• Float trajectories
• Vertical oceanographic sections
• Figures and scientific visualizations
• Automatic monitoring reports

Logs

Execution logs are stored in:

/log/

Data Sources

The system processes Argo float observations distributed through the international Argo GDAC infrastructure.

Primary sources include:

• Coriolis GDAC
• Global Argo Program
• Regional Argo deployments
• Argo Spain operational datasets

Operational Purpose

This repository supports the operational monitoring and visualization activities of Argo Spain by providing:

• Near real-time float monitoring
• Regional ocean observing products
• Interactive float visualization
• Technical diagnostics
• Automatic operational reporting
• Scientific and outreach web products
