SonTek IQ
For data exploration purposes, stglib supports reading the .mat
file exported from the SonTek IQ software into an xarray Dataset
using read_iq()
.
Data will generally be processed using a series of run scripts. The first script for each instrument type depends on two configuration files.
IQ-exported Matlab file to raw .cdf
First, export .mat files from the instrument software.
Convert from exported .mat to a raw netCDF file with .cdf extension using runiqmat2cdf.py
.
runiqmat2cdf.py
Convert SonTek IQ .mat file to raw .cdf format. Run this script from the directory containing IQ file.
usage: runiqmat2cdf.py [-h] gatts config
Positional Arguments
- gatts
path to global attributes file (gatts formatted)
- config
path to instrument configuration file (YAML formatted)
Raw .cdf to CF-compliant .nc
Convert the raw .cdf data into an CF-compliant netCDF file with .nc extension using runiqcdf2nc.py
.
runiqcdf2nc.py
Convert raw SonTek IQ .cdf format to processed .nc files
usage: runiqcdf2nc.py [-h] cdfname
Positional Arguments
- cdfname
raw .cdf filename
