Indeed. We've experimented with automatic conversion from those files, but found that there were enough non-standardizations that it would require human intervention. So our plan is to add a "Read NOAA txt file" to http://lipd.net/playground, which would would read in as much as possible and then let the user check/add/fix. But that's not live yet. In the meantime, creating a file using http://lipd.net/playground is still the most efficient way to create new datasets.

Many datasets are stored in excel, csv, or txt files. For example, almost all NOAA climate archives are .txt with extensive headers. Is there any utility existing or planned to convert these to lipd objects? This would remove a key hurdle to wider adoption of this standard.
