Incorrect sea_name in OOI gliders #138

Closed dpsnowden closed 6 years ago

dpsnowden commented 6 years ago

It looks like there is something hard coded in the OOI processing or formatting software. Take a look at glider ce_386-20151015T2247 on the DAC map and on the erddap. The sea_name is encoded as

String sea_name "Mid-Atlantic Bight";

but the glider is off the coast of Oregon/Washington.

Is there a way to catch this sort of error when uploading files by comparing the lat/lon with the sea_name or better yet, inferring the sea_name from the lat/lon by using a service.

@kerfoot @BeckyBaltes @kknee not sure how you assign folks to look into an issue.

That's the value of the GLOBAL:sea_name attribute in the submitted files by the user which, in this case, is me. I'll reprocess all CE glider datasets and resubmit.
