Tool set-up

Code repository

The full set of suites that make up the marine code are integrated in the glamod-marine-processing repository. Thus, to install the observations suite, the repository needs to be cloned:

git clone https://github.com/glamod/glamod-marine-processing

Installation

Once you have a copy of the source, you can install it with pip_:

pip install -e .

If you’re interested in participating in the development of the glamod-marine-processing, you can install the package in development mode after cloning the repository from source:

pip install -e .[dev]      # Install optional development dependencies in addition
pip install -e .[docs]     # Install optional dependencies for the documentation in addition
pip install -e .[all]      # Install all the above for complete dependency version

Setting paths and environments

The paths for the processing software and data files, including both a data directory and a release directory for the user running the software has to be set in a configuration file.

• glamod: full path to user-specific release directory

• data_directory: full path to marine data file system.

These paths are pre-defined for KAY, MeluXina and BASTION. The default machine is BASTION. If you want to work on another marine, please create a new configuration file with the name of your machine in it:

glamod_marine_processing/configuration_files/config_<your_machine>.json

Other directories that will be needed for processing the data will be created automatically while calling the software the first time.
