assetInventory

Building the IOOS asset inventory with Python. See the REVIEW_PROCESS for information on how the IOOS Office compiles the asset inventory.

Accessing asset inventory

The compiled asset inventory can be found at multiple locations. Below is a table of those locations. All of the data is sourced from the data found in this repository.

See REVIEW_PROCESS for details on how the inventories are processed.

Repository outline

• For each year, an inventory directory is created (eg. 2020).
• Within each year there are the following files and directories:
  • data/ - This directory contains the raw and processed inventory files as well as any additional directories needed for processing.
  • raw - The inventory files as received from the RA
  • processed - The inventory files after manual processing by IOOS staff.
  • combined_raw_inventory.(csv | geoJSON | kml) - These are the concatenation of all the raw inventory files, without cleaning.
  • processed_inventory.(csv | geoJSON | kml) - These are cleaned inventory files.
  • Each row is a station.
  • The columns are groupings of observations, with X in the cell denoting if the observation was made during the year. See this mapping for how the columns are defined.
  • create_master_inventory.py - (Used for testing) This script creates the inventory files from the raw spreadsheets. This is useful as a first check of the raw inventory files.
  • create_master_inventory_from_processed.py - This script creates the inventory files from the manually processed Excel spreadsheets.
• utils/ - This directory contains some useful utilities for evaluating the inventory.
  • ra_erddaps.json - a json file of the RA erddap servers.
  • temp.py - a place to test
• environment.yml - environment file.
