The following scripts are used to collect  
recent met(niwolmet) and water(niwolwq) and other nerrs station real-time data from NERRS cdmo web service ( http://cdmo.baruch.sc.edu/webservices/index.html ) and convert this data into SQL INSERT statements which are used to populate a Xenia schema database.

The below cron is run every 5 minutes past the hour.  It uses the php script
getServiceNI.php to get an xml response for the latest real-time data from
several stations via a soap request using the php nusoap library( http://trac.seacoos.org/datamgmt/browser/docs/usc/nautilus/usr2/prod/buoys/perl/xml/nusoap ).

This xml response is edited some by filter_CDMO.pl to remove header lines and xml elements which include namespaces that are problematic for the XML::LibXML package to handle.

This edited xml is then parsed for the timestamp and measurement values present in each row.  The parsed data is used to create a SQL INSERT statement which is used to populate the database.

The same processes are run against a control array list of the platforms of interest (platform array) shown at the beginning of both the php and perl script.
