votoutils

Big bucket of VOTO scripts.

This repo works as a package. From the home directory of this repo:

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

Functions can then be imported into your python scripts from votoutils e.g.:

from votoutils.utilities.geocode import filter_territorial_data

Organisation

Scripts within the votoutils package are split into directories grouped by what they do:

• ad2cp process the Nortek AD2CP data files.
• alerts for pilots: checks for emails from ALSEAMAR indicating a glider is in trouble and reads out an alert message
• ctd process CTD data
• fixers modify specific malformed datasets, insert extra metadata etc. For the admin
• glider process Seaexplorer data
• monitor monitor the pipeline to check everything is working on the pipeline
• sailbuoy process sailbuoy data
• upload send data files between servers to e.g. the website and ERDDAP
• utilities functions and dictionaries used by several of the other script groups

The seperate directory pipeline contains scripts co-ordinate the (re)processing of all data on the server. This calls functions from several other libraries, so requires the packages in requirements-prod.txt
