The Ocean Navigator is an online tool that is used to help visualise scientific research data. a users guide is available at https://dfo-ocean-navigator.github.io/Ocean-Navigator-Manual/ and the tool is live at
We received a request to add a NetCDF file output option to the point plotters (see issue #1150). A NetCDF button was added to the save image menu and related functionality added to the profiler and timeseries plotters. This feature should produce NetCDF files for any profile or VM plot regardless of the number of variables, points, and depths present in the current plot and the output will always contain the standard time, depth, lat, lon dimensions.
Why did you take this approach?
Rather than recreate the subset window from the area plotter we decided that this should be a quick to use feature that allows users to quickly download the data visible in the current plot.
