For working with lagrangian float data

Floater

Transcode MITgcm float output into:

• PyTables HDF5 format
• pandas HDF5 format
• bcolz
• NetCDF

Transcoding is done via the floater_convert script, which is installed with the package.

$ floater_convert
usage: floater_convert [-h] [--float_file_prefix PREFIX] [--float_buf_dim N]
                       [--progress] [--input_dir DIR] [--output_format FMT]
                       [--keep_fields FIELDS] [--ref_time RT] [--pkl_path PP]
                       [--output_dir OD] [--output_prefix OP]
