nivacloud-qclib 7.1.2

# Installing

Install from https://pypi.org/: ` pip install nivacloud-qclib `

# Standalone module containing quality tests

Input to the libary is a qcinput stucture which contains two lists:

1. Values: it is a list of lists [[],[],[],…], where inner list is [datetime, value]

2. Locations: is it a list of lists [[],[],[],…], where inner list is [datetime, lon, lat] and it is optional

Data has to be sorted ascending in time (first element in the list is the oldest, last element is the newest)

and a dictionary tests, where key is the measurement name (e.g. temperature, or salinity, or…) and the value is a list of tests =[“global_range”,”local_range”]…

# QC.py

A simple interface to facilitate execution of QC tests during ingest phase. It contains a platform_dict to relate platform_code to the relevant QC class and the three functions: 1. init(platform_code) instatiates (creates obj of) a relevant platform class. If platform_code is not found in platform_dict a PlatformQC is instatiated. 2. execute(platform, qc_input, measurement_name, tests) calls applyQC function defined in PlatformsQC. 3. finalize() prints success.

# PlatformQC.py

Contains a global common_tests dictionary and definition of PlatformQC class. PlatformQC has a constructor which initiated qc_tests to be the same as common_tests. applyQC method of this class executes the QC functions for each test in qc_tests and stores relevant QC flags. It also contains methods to format flags.

# Platforms.py Contains definitions of subclasses for each platform: FerryboxQC, SeaGliderQC, WaveGliderQC, SailbuoyQC. They all inherit from PlatformQC defined in PlatformQC.py Constructor in derived class may modify threshold and qc_tests dictionary. In addition platform specific information such as calibration may be added here.

# QCTests.py Contains definition of QCTests class which has a list of (static) function definitions for each QC test and a decorator checking number of sample requirements for each test. This class is a base for PlatformQC.

# Thresholds.py Defines threshold values for range tests.

# Version update
