In-situ Data Transformation and Ingestion Software Tool(NPO-52110-1)

A generalized tool that would let the user to scan through the in-situ netCDF data, select the variables of interest together with associated coordinate data and transform/export them into a columnar format (such as CSV file format) that can then easily be assimilated in other COVERAGE software tools and services. The tool also allows for and undertakes necessary standardization and reconciliation of data variable names consistent with CF-standard names as necessary for output.The generalized in-situ data transformation and ingestion tool is currently used to extract SPURS data (which is in the netCDF format) via the PODAAC api (https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/api/cmr/) and is loaded as python data frame and then exported to a CSV file.
