For time series scalar file data products on mobile deployments, including the standard Time Series Scalar Data products as well as Cast Scalar Profile Plot and Data and Time Series Scalar Profile Plot and Gridded Data.
All scalar data products from mobile deployments have positioning data integrated into the their time series (where available/applicable) aside the target sensor or sensors (for device-level requests). Integration includes position (Latitude, Longitude, Depth) and orientation (Heading, Pitch, Roll).
This option will exclude orientation sensors from the mobile position integration in time series scalar file data products. The default option here can be many times faster as orientation data can have very high sample rates and be very slow to interpolate on to the target sensor time series (orientation data usually comes from optical gyroscopes on inertial navigation systems). Most scalar sensor measurements such as temperature, salinity and not sensitive to orientation and do not need orientation data. For directional / orientation sensitive data, such as current velocities, ONC standard practice is to correct that data to be relative to true North / horizontal, so orientation is redundant there as well. Orientation sensors are not excluded from any metadata, such as plot comments or the metadata structure in MAT file data products; this option only affects the integration of orientation data into the time series.
This data product option may appear on devices / deployments where orientation data is not available or applicable to the selected data product, for example, some time series scalar profile plots and drifter devices. In those cases, the option has no effect. All data products do document which options were applied in their file headers (as in this case) and/or in their file-names.
