v1.0.1

What's Changed

This release ties up some loose ends that weren't dealt with in release v1.0.0:

• L0 processing is functional again. The L0 and L1 processing scripts were merged to make any future updates easier.
  • Example routines were updated accordingly.
  • Support for L0 files in the newer plots was added.
• Error catching for rotary spectra plots was added.

Changes can be viewed in the commit history - there were no changes submitted through pull requests.

v1.0.0

What's Changed

Changes to the L1 netCDF files

• Change output name format from STN_YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD_DPTHm.adcp.L1.nc to STN_YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD_DPTHm_L1.adcp.nc to agree with other mooring data files at IOS (CTD, current meter), and change header file names from STN_YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD_DPTHm.adcp to STN_YYYYMMDD_YYYYMMDD_DPTHm_L1.adcp
• Remove bad ensembles from before deployment and after recovery instead of setting them to NaNs and flagging them
• Move splitting of a dataset where pressure changes from a mooring strike from L2 to L1, and add a correction to new instrument depth(s)
  • Correction = (segment 1 mean depth from pressure sensor) - (user-input instrument_depth), so instrument_depth for segment n = (segment n mean depth from pressure sensor) - correction
• Remove ALATZZ01, ALONZZ01, and ELTMEP01 variables and add "bodc_code" local attribute to the preexisting latitude and longitude variables and time dimension containing the values, "ALATZZ01", "ALONZZ01", and "ELTMEP01", respectively
• Remove unnecessary DTUT8601 variable containing time values in string format
• Change time _FillValue to NaN
• Change *_QC variable formats from int to float32 so that they can accept a NaN _FillValue
• Change instrument_depth from a global attribute to a variable to agree with other data types at IOS
• Change most global attribute name formats from camelCase to be underscore_separated to agree with other data types at IOS
• Remove repetitive global and local variable attributes
• Add check for Long Ranger Workhorse ADCPs (have frequency = 75 kHz) and update relevant object values for these instruments from the generic Workhorse formats:
  • instrument_subtype: "Workhorse" -> "Workhorse Long Ranger"
  • instrument_serial_number: "WH1234" -> "LR1234"
  • instrument_model: "RDI WH ADCP 75kHz" -> "RDI WH Long Ranger ADCP 75kHz"
• Improve wording and content of processing_history global attribute

Plot changes

• New plots
  • Feather plots for select bins: current vectors plotted over time
  • Rotary spectra for selected bins
  • Depth profile of rotary spectrum
  • Depth profile of tidal ellipses
  • Single bin North/East velocity plots
• Additional parameters have been added to the plot_westcoast_nc_LX.create_westcoast_plots() function to run any combination of plots
• Unify plot naming
• Various plot bug fixes and aesthetic improvements

Other changes

• Move netCDF variable local attributes and encoding into a .yml file to shorten the python code
• Add more warning for raw ADCP files with time values out of range and point to script generate_time_range.py to use for manually generating new time data
• Move geographic_area assignment to within the main L1 processing script so that only one version of each netCDF file needs to be made
• Add more support for empty metadata file values
• Add sentence length checker to apply to header files for IOS Shell compliance

Notes

1. The L0 and L2 scripts were left out of this update and should not be used before they are brought up-to-date in the next release.
2. The PR Changelog is located at v0.0.2...v1.0.0, but the majority of commits were not carried out through PRs.

_FillValue encoding and plot naming fixes

Consistency fixes for netCDF variable _FillValue encoding and plot naming.
