@rsignell-usgs not sure why the conversion is not contained in the NetCDF files. The requests for ERDDAP NetCDFs are not filtering out any variables, so I would expect the converted voltage (units=Volts) to be there. Will follow up with the data team once they all get back from Alaska.
@rsignell-usgs response from Mike Vardaro, OOI Data Manager:
Hi John,
I’ll have to dig into the documentation to see where the calculated voltage can be back-calculated or provided elsewhere. I do note that thermistor temperature is also being provided in volts.
This could be an instance where user-created algorithms would be helpful, if we can get them inserted into uFrame in systematic way.
More soon, Mike V.
Seems the conversion to useful engineering units is missing for some datasets.
Voltage seems more useful than "counts":
