Add API Ability to handle Missing Data #11

Closed rdustinb closed 9 years ago

It appears that the NOAA satellites can often dump data to the server that is "not present" for the particular sample time frame. I am not sure what this is due to, whether that be just inherent to the sensors or processing units, or if it is due to routine maintenance causing the satellites to not actually push any data to the servers at the given interval and thus the server just puts in a missing data value.

All data sources have a "missing data" value that can be used to parse out said data "values". Determine if it best to alter the missing data to 0 or to something like "none".

NoaaApi.py now removes all instances of data that is missing in all data sets. This cleans up the graphs especially when running in a whole-day view.
