Find minimum values based on unique number

6 views (last 30 days)
I have a dataset of temperatures collected over multiple depth profiles (1-147 profiles). The data is all listed in one long table, not by each profile (attached).
Each profile has a different temperature minimum, and I want to find this minimum for each profile, and colour all of the temperatures above this in grey in a figure (essentially discarding them).
  1. Evidently I'm going about this the wrong way as my output (T_min) is all the same number (see code below).
  2. Once I have the T_min for each profile, when I do a scatter plot, how can I colour each dot less than the T_min - for that particular profile - grey?
Thanks in advance - sorry if this isn't very clear.
j=1;
for i=1:length(dives)
T_min(j) = nanmin(SG579_FINAL_table_MF.Cons_temp(dives));
j=j+1;
end

hello
the provided mat file contains 492 different profiles (and not 147)
my suggestion so far :
load('matlab.mat')
prof = Prof_temp.Profile_num;
prof_unic = unique(prof);
for k=1:length(prof_unic)
ind = (prof == prof_unic(k));
T_min(k) = min(Prof_temp.Temp(ind),[],'omitnan');
end
plot(prof_unic,T_min);
xlabel('Profile #')
ylabel('Average temperature')

Thank you! This looks more like what I was expecting. Apologies for my lack of clarity :)

Sorry you make an excellent point and have made me realise I've completely messed up my explanation.
T_min for each profile will be located at a certain depth (called Pres, and the T_min Pres will differ between profiles). In the scatter plot of T and S, I wanted to colour any dots shallower than the T_min Pres (differing between profiles) grey.
