A utility to convert WERA total ASCII files into CF NetCDF files.

Project description

# wera2netcdf [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/axiom-data-science/wera2netcdf.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/axiom-data-science/wera2netcdf)

Converting WERA Total ASCII files (the final total current speed and direction
of the combined radial data) into CF NetCDF files.

## Installation

```
# pip
$ pip install wera2netcdf

# conda
$ conda install -c ioos wera2netcdf
```

## Usage

```python
In [1]: from wera2netcdf import WeraAsciiTotals
In [2]: w = WeraAsciiTotals('totals.txt')
In [3]: w.is_valid()
Out[3]: True

# Pandas dataframe of the data
In [4]: w.data.head()
Out[4]:
IX IY U[m/s] V[m/s] KL Acc_U[m/s] Acc_V[m/s]
0 68 70 0.000 0.000 0 0.035 0.117
1 69 107 0.014 -0.103 0 0.051 0.095
2 69 108 0.012 -0.097 0 0.050 0.098

4 70 102 0.035 -0.093 0 0.048 0.087

# Export to netCDF file
In [5]: w.export('out.nc')
