MATLAB Recipes for Earth Sciences - 3rd Edition, by M.H. Trauth
--------------------------------------------------------------The software MATLAB by The MathWorks Inc. is available on multiple platforms, including Microsoft Windows, UNIX, Linux,
and Apple Macintosh. M-files and data on the CD should run on all platforms without modifications. To check the system
requirements for specific products, go to http://www.mathworks.com/products/ to access the product's web page. The
following products were used to create the book material: MATLAB Version 7.10 (Release 2010a), the Image Processing
Toolbox Version 7.0, the Mapping Toolbox Version 3.1, the Signal Processing Toolbox Version 6.13, the Statistics Toolbox
Version 7.3 and the Wavelet Toolbox Version 4.5.
TABLE OF CONTENTS (with correct extensions on the CD)
----------------------------------------------------The CD contains five directories:
example data
matlab recipes
presentations keynote
presentations pdf
presentations powerpoint
The directory 'example data' contains all example data required to run the MATLAB examples described in the book. The
files contained in this directory are:
S01E036.hgt
agedepth_1.txt
agedepth_2.txt
average.m
canc.m
coastline.txt
directional_1.txt
directional_2.txt

The directory 'matlab recipes' contains all MATLAB commands in Chapters 2 to 10. The directory 'presentations keynote'
contains files to be used with the presentation program Keynote, part of the iWork '09 productivity suite by Apple Inc.
that runs on the Mac OS X operation system. All graphs and equations including in these files are in a vector format.
The directory 'presentations powerpoint' contains files to be used with the presentation program Powerpoint, part of the
Office Suite by Microsoft that runs on the Windows and Mac OS X operation systems. All graphs and equations included in
these files are in a raster format. These files are might also be compatible with IMPRESS 3, part of the OpenOffice
Suite and can also be imported into Apple Keynote if a raster format is the preferred format. The directory
'presentations pdf' contains PDF versions of the Keynote files in a vector format and can therefore be viewed and edited
by numerous vector graph editors such as Adobe Illustrator.

2. The global self-consistent, hierarchical, high-resolution shoreline database GSHHS is amalgamated from two public
domain data bases by Paul Wessel (SOEST, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, HI) and Walter Smith (NOAA Laboratory for
Satellite Altimetry, Silver Spring, MD). The coastline vector data can be downloaded as MATLAB vector data from the web
page of the US National Geophysical Data Center (http://rimmer.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coast/getcoast.html)

3. ETOPO2 is a global database of topography and bathymetry on a regular 2-minute grid. It is a compilation of data from
a variety of different sources and can be downloaded from the web page of the US National Geophysical Data Center
(http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/fliers/01mgg04.html).

4. The GTOPO30 data set has been developed by the Earth Resources Observation System Data Center and is available from
the web page of the US Geological Survey (http://eros.usgs.gov/#/Find_Data/Products_and_Data_Available/gtopo30_info).

5. The SRTM data were processed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and are being distributed through the United States
Geological Survey's (USGS) EROS Data Center by using the USGS Seamless Data Distribution System, which provides access
to srtm data from an area defined by the user (http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/).
