Welcome to fetchAZA’s documentation!

fetchAZA is a package to read the *.csv files generated by a Sonardyne Fetch AZA and parse the data into *.nc netcdf format.

For recommendations or bug reports, please visit https://github.com/ocean-uhh/fetchAZA/issues/new

Getting started

• Installation
  • Option 1: Clone this repository
  • Option 2: Install with pip

Users guide

• Parsing data from the Sonardyne FETCH AZA
  • Step 1 & 2 as convertAZA.convertAZA
  • Step 1: Read the *csv file for Logging Events.
  • Step 2: Write the data to netCDF
  • Step 3: Further processing of pressure records and AZA sequence records
    • Save the data
    • Plot variables in ds_pressure
• Diagnostics & basic statistics
  • 1. Plot variables which are against time
  • 2. Histograms
  • 3. Compare pressure
    • Plot the pressure from the ambient (KLR) and transfer (DQZ)
    • Plot the pressure during an AZA sequence (transfer, ambient and low)
