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

1. Create a fresh virtual environment using your favorite method and install the dependencies
2. 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

1. 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
   

2. Using an already established virtual environment

   conda activate your_env
   

   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/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()
