Code layout

ncas-ceilometer-3-software is an example of this module in use for creating NCAS-GENERAL netCDF files. There are four main components to this repo:

  1. read_ceilometer.py - this script contains functions to read the raw data files from the instrument and returns all of the variables and data in a Python-friendly format.

  2. process_ceilometer.py - this uses the functions in read_ceilometer.py to read the raw data, and uses the functions from this module to actually create the netCDF file.

  3. metadata.csv - CSV file which has relevant metadata for this instrument, used as described here.

  4. scripts - folder that contains Bash scripts that can be called in a crontab/scheduler to automatically create netCDF files on a regular basis.
