Hello. I'm exploring reading Argo float data for my python course I'm taking
from Penn State University. I need to create shapefiles for the ESRI ArcGIS
9.3 product.
My script is working for the NOAA NODC provided .txt files. Using a built in
function from ArcGIS, I can get some of the netCDF files into a shapfile, but I
see errors in values and I cannot always consistently create the vertical
distribution of measurements for temperature and pressure.
Any ideas? I tried using the free tool NOAA NODC gives away that is supposed to
dump the netCDF file to Excel, but it's not working.
Is there a way to dump a netCDF file to an ASCII text file that is fairly easy
to interpret what the values mean? For example will I see a header line that
labels, rows, and columns of data?
Thank you, Marti
