Consider if adding a pre-processing routine is helpful that transforms raw log data from the OceanPack to a netCDF file.?
Having a netCDF file would make it much more comfortable to read-in the data. One would have all the attributes already by hand. Also plotting routines (form XArray, for example) could already make use of the attributes.
For this to be implemented, we should check:
[ ] How does the file size differ? Perhaps use compression for netCDF
[ ] How does the loading differ?
[ ] Are there better suited file formats?
[ ] (How) would we rename the variables?
[ ] Should the data be simple 1D time series (with lon/lat being coordinates but not dimensions) or should they be gridded (with time, lon, lat as dimensions) --> if gridded, how does file size change? (compare sailors' routine)
