About The Project

This project was created to streamline the process of converting the raw data from the gliders after missions into NetCDF files, as well as ensuring the code can be easily maintained, understood, and used by others.

Built With

Getting Started

There are three ways to get started

Create a fresh virtual environment using your favorite method and install the dependencies
Use an already established virtual environment and install the dependencies

Dependencies

I have provided some commands to install the dependencies using conda but you can use any package manager

Creating your own virtual environment then installing dependencies

You can change "glider_ingest" to your desired environment name
```
conda create -n glider_ingest python=3.12
```
```
conda activate glider_ingest
```
```
pip install numpy pandas xarray gsw attrs
```

Using an already established virtual environment

conda activate your_env

pip install numpy pandas xarray gsw attrs

Installation

Activate your virtual environment
Verify/Install Dependencies

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/alecmkrueger/glider-ingest.git

Usage

Process raw data from gliders using python.

Function inputs:

raw_data_source (Path|str): Raw data source, from the glider SD card
working_directory (Path|str): Where you want the raw copy and processed data to be
glider_number (str): The number of the glider, for NetCDF metadata
mission_title (str): The mission title, for NetCDF metadata
extensions (list): The extensions you wish to process
output_nc_filename (str): The name of the output NetCDF file
return_ds (bool): If you would like the output dataset to be returned. Default = False

Example:

from pathlib import Path

from glider_ingest import MissionData, MissionProcessor

memory_card_copy_loc = Path('path/to/memory/card/copy')
# Where you want the netcdf to be saved to
working_dir = Path('path/to/working/dir').resolve()
mission_num = '46'

# Initalize the mission_data container
mission_data = MissionData(memory_card_copy_loc=memory_card_copy_loc,
                         working_dir=working_dir,
                         mission_num=mission_num)
# Pass the mission_data container to the MissionProcessor class
# call save_mission_dataset to generate and save the mission dataset
MissionProcessor(mission_data=mission_data).save_mission_dataset()
