This repository contains Python code to (i) create CF-NetCDF (.nc) files from .csv, and (ii) minimally process long-term data (e.g., annual and monthly means).
-
Software: Anaconda (Spyder, the Scientific Python Development Environment, is a free integrated development environment (IDE) that is included with Anaconda).
-
Datasets: Datasets and their metadata have been deposited in stable IO PAN Geonetwork repository, downloadable via OPeNDAP:
*The above-mentioned .nc files together with processed .csv (e.g, monthly and annual means, derived from this code) are also available via Figshare
As part of an ecological monitoring initiative, the Institute of Oceanology Polish Academy of Sciences IOPAN (Marine Ecology Department) deployed a series of bespoke metal constructions to conduct a long-term multipurpose experiment assessing the ecology of hard-bottom assemblages in the shallow subtidal of southern Isfjorden proper between 2006 and 2022 (16yr). Attached to these submerged constructions were data-loggers of temperature and light intensity. Two stations (S1 and S2) and two depth strata (shallow infralittoral [s], and circalittoral [d]) were considered for the deployments.
Further details about logger deployment and study site overall can be found in the data descriptor:
