oceanliner: observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) to subsample high-resolution model output as if by gliders, ships, or other in situ platforms
currently, the sampling track can extend to the max bottom depth of the domain - interpolated data below the water depth are Nan, which is fine - but this sampling strategy is not realistic because shallow profiles would actually be completed more quickly and therefore would be more frequent in time.
implementing a depth range / z sampling that changes would require interpolating "Depth" to each waypoint, and adjusting "zrange" locally at each timestep.
