Description
This converter handles data from the NSIDC NASA Team and Bootstrap algorithms. It extracts valid observations and applies necessary masking, assigns a constant obs. error (0.1).
Note: These algorithms have different data types and scaling factors. The NASA Team data are in "ubyte" and have a scaling factor of 0.004, while the BT's in "short" format and its scale factor is "0.001". They also use different filling values for land and pole hole. But NetCDF4 package "should" handle this automatically.
