<h2>DESCRIPTION

</h2>



<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>x2sys_cross</b>
is used to determine all intersections between
(&quot;external cross-overs&quot;) or within (&quot;internal
cross-overs&quot;) tracks (Cartesian or geographic), and
report the time, position, distance along track, heading and
speed along each track segment, and the crossover error
(COE) and mean values for all observables. The names of the
tracks are passed on the command line. By default,
<b>x2sys_cross</b> will look for both external and internal
COEs. As an option, you may choose to project all data using
one of the map-projections prior to calculating the COE.</p>

<p>Can be one or more ASCII, native binary, or COARDS
netCDF 1-D data files. To supply the data files via a text
file with a list of tracks (one per record), specify the
name of the track list after a leading equal-sign (e.g.,
=tracks.lis). If the names are missing their file extension
we will append the suffix specified for this <i>TAG</i>.
Track files will be searched for first in the current
directory and second in all directories listed in
<b>$X2SYS_HOME</b>/<i>TAG</i>/<i>TAG</i>_paths.txt (if it
exists). [If <b>$X2SYS_HOME</b> is not set it will default
to <b>$GMT_SHAREDIR</b>/x2sys]. (Note: MGD77 files will also
be looked for via <b>MGD77_HOME</b>/mgd77_paths.txt and
*.gmt files will be searched for via
<b>$GMT_SHAREDIR</b>/mgg/gmtfile_paths).</p> </td></tr>

<h2>REMARKS
<a name="REMARKS"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The COEs found
are printed out to standard output in ASCII format (unless
<b>&minus;bo</b> is set). When ASCII is chosen, the output
format depends on whether or not old-style XOVER output
(<b>&minus;L</b>) has been selected [See the <b><A HREF="x_over.html">x_over</A></b>
man page for more details]. If ASCII, then the first record
contains the name of the tag used, the second records
specifies the exact command line used for this run, and the
third record contains the names of each column. For each
track pair, there will be a multisegment header record
containing the two file names and their start/stop/dist
information (start/stop is absolute time or NaN if
unavailable while dist is the total track length), whereas
subsequent records have the data for each COE encountered.
The fields written out are x, y, time along track #1 and #2,
distance along track #1 and #2, heading along track #1 and
#2, velocity along track #1 and #2, and then pairs of
columns for each selected observable. These are either pairs
of (COE, average value) for each data type (or track-values
#1 and #2; see <b>&minus;2</b>). It is recommended that the
Akima spline is used instead of the natural cubic spline,
since it is less sensitive to outliers that tend to
introduce wild oscillations in the interpolation.</p>
