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 conda virtual environment using the .yml file provided (preferred)
• Create a conda virtual environment and install the dependencies yourself
• Use an already established virtual environment and install the dependencies (not recommended)

Dependencies

I have provided some commands for the dependencies

• Using the .yml file (preferred)

  conda env create -f gerg_glider_ingest.yml
  

• Creating your own virtual environment then installing dependencies

  You can change "yourenv" to your desired environment name

  conda create -n yourenv python=3.10
  

  conda activate yourenv
  

  pip install numpy pandas xarray gsw attrs
  

• Using an already established virtual environment (not recommended)

  conda activate yourenv
  

  pip install numpy pandas xarray gsw attrs
  

Installation

1. Activate your virtual environment
2. Verify/Install Dependencies
3. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/alecmkrueger/gerg_glider_ingest.git
   

Usage

Process raw data from gliders using python.

The only things that need to be changed by the user are:

• glider id/number (used for NetCDF metadata)
• the mission title (used for NetCDF metadata)
• source data directory
• processed data output directory
• NetCDF filename
