JarKus data in OpenEarth:

1. Raw data + scripts (ascii + Matlab)
   • Raw ascii data + dedicated Matlab tools for conversion to netCDF
     https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthrawdata/trunk/rijkswaterstaat/jarkus/ (register at oss.deltares.nl)
   • Generic matlab tools to work with ascii JarKus data or with the netCDF file
     https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthtools/trunk/matlab/applications/Rijkswaterstaat/jarkus/ (register at oss.deltares.nl)
2. Standardized data (netCDF on OPeNDAP)
   • http://opendap.deltares.nl/thredds/catalog/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/jarkus/catalog.html
   • A duplicate (usually named transect.nc) as well as previous releases (or new releases that still need to be checked and approved), named transect_r*.nc, can be found on http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds/dodsC/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/jarkus/profiles/catalog.html
3. Visualized data (kml)
   • JarKus transects: http://kml.deltares.nl/kml/rijkswaterstaat/jarkus/
   • Kustlijnkaartenboek: http://kml.deltares.nl/kml/rijkswaterstaat/kustlijnkaartenboek/

JarKus description:

• Because of the size of the JarKus data, they are grouped into regions called Kustvak(ken), here from North to South with Kustvak number within brackets
  • Schiermonnikoog (2)
  • Ameland (3)
  • Terschelling (4)
  • Vlieland (5)
  • Texel (6)
  • Noord-Holland (7)
  • Rijnland (8)
  • Delfland (9)
  • Maasvlakte / slufter (10)
  • Voorne (11)
  • Goeree (12)
  • Schouwen (13)
  • Oosterschelde / Neeltje Jans (14)
  • Noord-Beveland (15)
  • Walcheren (16)
  • Zeeuws-Vlaanderen (17)
• There is a separate coordinate system for The JarKus transects. The alongshore coordinate of each transect is linked to a beach pole Rijksstrandpaal (RSP). The coordinates system is different per KustVak. The OpenEarthTools function jarkus_rsp2xy.m can convert from the local RSP system to world coordinates in the Dutch coordinate system EPSG:28992.
