Accessing metadata from file header #148

Open joe-pitt opened 1 year ago

joe-pitt commented 1 year ago

Most of the metadata stored in the file header for the obs files (e.g. https://meta.icos-cp.eu/objects/HdgDiYSy-uxV6y61pPCY4t3M) is also stored in the associated json file, and can be accessed via Dobj.meta. However, there are some fields that are stored in the file header but are missing from the json file - MEASUREMENT SCALE is a particularly important one. I can't find an easy way to get at this information using icoscp at present - would it be possible to add this feature?

Hi joe. A very good and valid point. We will look into this, to make the information easier available. Thanks for highlighting this.
