oceano2python

This program read ASCII file(s) from oceanographic instruments:

  • Profile: Seabird CTD or RBR, Bottle, Sippican XBT, RDI LADCP
  • Trajectory: Seabird TSG, IFREMER COLCOR (realtime), IFREMER CASINO

and extract data from header files and write result into ASCII and NetCDF OceanSITES files.

The last version use an embedded Sqlite3 database to normalize, save and retreive data from memory.

See the wiki for a technical description

Prequisites for Windows

You must install the following tools:

Installation from scratch with conda

The program works under Windows (terminal) or Git bash as well as under Linux. It is recommended to install miniconda and to create a virtual environment oceano2python.

conda create -n oceano2python python=3.9
conda activate oceano2python
conda install -c conda-forge netCDF4 toml matplotlib xarray seawater PyInstaller pysimplegui
pip install julian notanorm

Installation based on an YAML environment file

conda env create -f environment.yml -n <new_env_name>

example:

conda env create -f environment-windows.yml -n oceano2python

Export your environment

Duplicate your environment on another machine, just export it to a YAML file, replace "OS" with linux or windows:

conda env export --no-builds > environment-<OS>.yml

Build and run

To build, run tests, build (compiled version), test examples (CTD/XBT), with GUI, you can use make:

make test
make build
make ctd
make xbt
make ladcp
make btl
make tsg
make casino
make ctd OPT=-g   
make ctd OPT=-d

or:

make all

Configuration

As the project consists of several files (modules), it is necessary to define the access path to the program in the environment variables PYTHONPATH and PATH. For example, under Linux:

Update your PATH in your ~/.profile

 if [ -d "/mnt/c/git/Python/oceano2python" ] ; then
    PATH="/mnt/c/git/Python/oceano2python:$PATH"
fi

Add this line in your ~/.bashrc

export $PYTHONPATH = /mnt/c/git/Python/oceano2python

Usage

By default, the program uses the configuration file config.toml.

cd /mnt/c/cruises/PIRATA/PIRATA-FR32/data-processing/CTD
oceano.py data/cnv/dfr320*.cnv -c ../config.toml  -i CTD -k PRES DEPTH ETDD TEMP PSAL DENS SVEL DOX2 FLU2 FLU3 TUR3 NAVG
oceano.py data/btl/fr320*.btl -c ../config.toml  -i BTL  -k PRES DEPTH TE01 TE02 PSA1 PSA2 DO11 DO12 DO21 DO22 FLU2

cd /mnt/c/cruises/PIRATA/PIRATA-FR32/data-processing/CELERITE
oceano.py data/XBT*.edf -c ../config.toml -i XBT -k DEPTH TEMP SVEL

cd /mnt/c/cruises/PIRATA/PIRATA-FR32/data-processing/LADCP

cd /mnt/c/cruises/PIRATA/PIRATA-FR32/data-processing/THERMO

cd /mnt/c/cruises/PIRATA/PIRATA-FR32/data-processing/CASINO
oceano.py data/*.csv -c ../config.toml -i CASINO -k LATITUDE LONGITUDE BATH SSJT SSTP SSPS

This program read multiple ASCII file, extract physical parameter following ROSCOP codification at the given column, fill arrays, write header file.

positional arguments:
  files                 ASCII file(s) to parse

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -d, --debug           display debug informations
  --demo [{CTD,XBT,LADCP,TSG}]
                        specify the commande line for instrument, eg CTD, XBT,
                        TSG, LADCP
  -c CONFIG, --config CONFIG
                        toml configuration file, (default: tests/test.toml)
  -i [{CTD,XBT,LADCP,TSG}], --instrument [{CTD,XBT,LADCP,TSG}]
                        specify the instrument that produce files, eg CTD,
                        XBT, TSG, LADCP
  -k KEYS [KEYS ...], --keys KEYS [KEYS ...]
                        display dictionary for key(s), (default: ['PRES',
                        'TEMP', 'PSAL'])
  -g, --gui             use GUI interface

The user must describe in the TOML configuration file the metadata and the structure of the files to be read, see tests/test.toml

Developpment tools

We use Visual Studio Code (VSC) with Python, better TOML, markdownlint and makefile extensions

GUI

If you want use QT instead of Tk, replace in oceano.py:

import PySimpleGUI as gs

with

import PySimpleGUIQt as gs
