Rationale
New file standard will be introduced (OceanGliders), but there's a gap for people to convert their data from proprietary "base station" outputs to the OceanGliders format. GliderTools may be in a position to fill this gap

How would the user call the function

data = gt.load.seaglider_basestation_netCDFs(file_names)
# some steps in harmonising the variable names etc.  
gt.save.as_oceangliders(new_name)

What we need to do this

  • Documentation of the minimum requirements for OceanGliders format.
  • Existing load modules need to load the data correctly (i.e. netCDF attributes)
  • Variable naming will still be an issue. This will probably require a lot of input from the user.
  • A lot of checks to ensure that the requirements are met (data format + metadata).

@vturpin can you provide the most recent documentation of the minimum requirements for the OceanGliders format?

Any questions related to the OG1.0 format etc should be raised in the official OceanGlidersCommunity repo here:

Thanks @vturpin
