Importer for AVAPS dropsondes (operated e.g. on HALO). #33

Measurement gaps will be filled via linear interpolation and missing measurements between the aircraft altitude and the first recorded dropsonde measurement are filled with extrapolation. The extrapolation is based on BAHAMAS measurements (if available) or otherwise guessed from the existing measurements. After having measurement gaps filled, outliers are marked and, if a certain threshold is exceeded, smoothed out. Finally, the dropsonde measurements are interpolated on a 10 m grid.

Is it okay to leave the dropsonde processing routines inside the importer.py module or shall it be moved elsewhere to keep the importer "clean"?

I think we lost track of this pull request. Now it has some conflicts, but I guess it is just a matter of moving the importer to some different lines. @AnWalbroel can you do that?

Hi Davide,

I'll certainly look into it... but if it isn't urgent, I would rather do it when I return from the ship.
