Vaklodingen bathymetry data in OpenEarth:

1. Raw data + scripts (ascii + Matlab)
   • Raw ascii data + Matlab tools for conversion to netCDF
     https://svn.oss.deltares.nl/repos/openearthrawdata/trunk/rijkswaterstaat/vaklodingen/ (register at oss.deltares.nl)
2. Standardized data (netCDF on OPeNDAP). The netCDF files can be viewed and analyzed interactively with UCIT.
   • 2012 release is upcoming, to be processed with the new nc_gen in Matlab OpenEarthTools
   • 2011 release: production: http://opendap.deltares.nl/thredds/catalog/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/vaklodingen_remapped/catalog.html (processed with with the generic nc_multibeam netCDF tiles toolbox with Rijkswaterstaat vaklodingen tile configuration in Matlab OpenEarthTools)
   • 2010 release: production: http://opendap.deltares.nl/thredds/catalog/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/vaklodingen/catalog.html (generated with abandoned dedicated processing line in Python)
   • 2010 release: test: http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl:8080/thredds/catalog/opendap/rijkswaterstaat/vaklodingen/catalog.html (processed with with nc_multibeam toolbox in Matlab OpenEarthTools)
3. Visualized data (kml) (only 2010 release)
   • Vaklodingen overview (with links to OPeNDAP): http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl/kml/rijkswaterstaat/Vaklodingen_overview.kml
   • All Vaklodingen data as tiled pngs, the same technology that Google Earth uses for all aerial imagery: http://dtvirt5.deltares.nl/kml/rijkswaterstaat/Vaklodingen.kml
     Note there is a small kick-up in this release: Zoom out to until you see the entire globe, and then zoom in (Google Earth must first show uppermost Vaklodingen tile).
