TRAK
TRAK is the ending time for the Altimetric Satellite Ground
Track Prediction data, and the color of the prediction. Skip
is a value that indicates how many data points to skip when plotting.
Data type | End time | Color | Skip
The data type is a selection to plot. Currently there are five data
types, TRAK1 (Jason-1), TRAK2 (Jason-2), TRAKE (Envisat), TRAKS
(Saral/Altika), and TRAKC (Cryosat).
The ending time is the latest time for which prediction data will be
plotted. The ending time is given as a GEMPAK date/time string. Any
missing items from the string will be filled in by the system time. The
ending time may also be LAST. LAST will use the system time and plot all
TRAK data for the preceding 6 hours. ALL is not accepted as an ending
time for TRAK data.
The Color may each be specified using a GEMPAK color in the range of
1 - 32. If the color is missing, a defalut will be used.
The Skip value is an integer used for skipping datapoints when plotting
the predictions. If the skip value is missing a default will be used.
