### Installation

1. Activate your virtualenv/conda

2. Install the plugin:

```
pip install cc-plugin-ncei
```

3. Tests should now show up when you run compliance checker:

```
compliance-checker -t ncei-trajectory-profile-orthogonal -v https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/testdata/mbiddle/GOLD_STANDARD_NETCDF/1.1/NODC_trajectoryProfile_template_v1.1_2016-06-15_133721.704494.nc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The dataset scored 124 out of 127 points
during the ncei-trajectoryprofile-orthogonal check
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verbose Scoring Breakdown:

### Examples

1. Running NCEI Point check on a THREDDS Endpoint

```
compliance-check -t ncei-point -v https://data.nodc.noaa.gov/thredds/dodsC/testdata/mbiddle/GOLD_STANDARD_NETCDF/1.1/NODC_point_template_v1.1_2016-06-14_125317.379316.nc
```

2. Running NCEI Trajectory Profile Orthogonal Check on local dataset

```
compliance-checker -t ncei-trajectory-profile-orthogonal -v ~/data/sample-trajectory-profile.nc
```

3. Outputting JSON trom a gridded file check

```
compliance-checker -t ncei-grid -f json -o ~/Documents/sample_grid_report.json ~/Documents/sample_grid_report.nc
```
