---- downloading matlab toolboxes ----

0) login as guest

1) open web browser and download setup_gcmfaces_and_mitprof.csh
   from http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/

notes :
   to download this script: click on the file name, then 
     on the download button near the top of the page 
   if you are using a windows computer then the shell 
     script method wont do it -- see 'alternative download method'

2) open terminal window and download tooloxes via shell script:
   csh
   mkdir iap-idma
   mv Downloads/setup_gcmfaces_and_mitprof.csh iap-idma/
   cd iap-idma
   source ./setup_gcmfaces_and_mitprof.csh

notes : 
   disk space requirement ~ 800M (plus session specific items)
   2011 or later matlab version is needed (for native netcdf implementation)

2') alternative download method: 
   - open a web browser and go to
     http://mit.ecco-group.org/opendap/ecco_for_las/version_4/checkpoints/c65r_gcmfaces.tar.gz
     http://mit.ecco-group.org/opendap/ecco_for_las/version_4/checkpoints/c65r_MITprof.tar.gz
   - move the two downloaded files to your iap-idma directory 
   - click on each of the two files to unpack c65r_gcmfaces and c65r_MITprof
   - rename c65r_gcmfaces as gcmfaces and c65r_MITprof as MITprof

notes : 
   for session 1 you only need MITprof but gcmfaces will come 
      handy later so your might as well download both right away
   the shell script method uses CVS (see http://mitgcm.org/public/using_cvs.html)
      and should be preferred if possible (e.g. under linux or IOS on a MAC) 
      since CVS allows for updates later on.

---- for session #1 ----

1,2) same as above (see 'downloading matlab toolboxes')

3) download idma_float_plot.m from http://mitgcm.org/viewvc/MITgcm/MITgcm_contrib/gael/comm/course-idma2016/matlab/

4) in terminal window 
   mv ~/Downloads/idma_float_plot.m ~/iap-idma/.

5) download Argo etc
   cd ~/iap-idma
   mkdir release1
   wget --recursive ftp://mit.ecco-group.org/ecco_for_las/version_4/release1/MITprof_release1
   mv mit.ecco-group.org/ecco_for_las/version_4/release1/MITprof_release1 release1/.

6) start matlab and run idma_float_plot.m
   matlab
   addpath matlab/
   [p]=idma_float_plot('2900828');

notes :
   disk space requirement ~ 6.4G (plus 0.8G from steps 1,2)
   start matlab at command line : matlab -nodesktop
   idma_float_plot adds the MITprof/ subdirectories to the matlab path
