Project Idea: Eddy and Argo float data in the SO #29

Closed sbartoloni closed 2 years ago

sbartoloni commented 2 years ago

My goal is to find "interesting" instances of an Argo float passing through an eddy in the Southern Ocean. This could include the float passing an eddy in a frontal region or the float staying within the eddy for multiple sampling periods. I also want to make sure the float has pH/DIC data.

Data Sources: Argo Floats: https://soccompu.princeton.edu/www/index.html Mesoscale eddy trajectories: https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/en/data/products/value-added-products/global-mesoscale-eddy-trajectory-product.html

I would like to walk through setting up a project repository for this on Friday. It will go something like this:

  1. create new repo
  2. set up mybinder.org config
  3. create new .ipynb
  4. download a .zip from your link above
  5. unzip the file
  6. load the data into python

For 4 & 5 we could use the bash CLI utilities wget and uzip or we could do it in python. Does this sound like a good plan?
