Feature Analysis: Generate vector flow layers for GIBS #35

Open frankinspace opened 4 months ago

frankinspace commented 4 months ago

In order to enable distributing vector flow layers for measurements like ocean currents and winds (e.g. OSCAR, ASCAT), PO.DAAC needs to be able to generate and deliver formatted data to GIBS.

@jtroberts developed some prototype code that is able to convert netcdf data to geojson vectors: https://github.com/podaac/netcdf_to_geojson_vectors

Need to spec out a few more details:

  1. Is geojson vectors still the approach GIBS wants to pursue for this type of data?
  2. Create a Harmony service based on the prototype code above to achieve the transformation as part of a processing chain that could then be integrated into bignbit
