Reader - HYCOM-GLBv0.08

Deprecated - Use HycomReader ReaderName: HycomGLBv008Reader

This reader is used to import data from HYCOM GLBv0.08 product. The description of the dataset can be found here.

The imported dataset will have the following properties:

• The spatial domain is a non-equidistant grid. Due to the differences in spatial domain this product is NOT compatible with the previous GLBa0.08 (i.e. timesteps from GLBv0.08 can not be appended to GLBa0.08, even if the contain the correct items).
• The input comes either in "all-in-one-file" format, or in multiple files. E.g.

hycom_GLBv0.08_563_2016010212_t000.nc (4.49 GB)

will contain all items for this product for one timestep, or this set of files

hycom_glbv_930_2019010112_t021_ssh.nc (27.9 MB)
hycom_glbv_930_2019010112_t021_ts3z.nc (2.23 GB)
hycom_glbv_930_2019010112_t021_uv3z.nc (2.23 GB)

will contain all the items for a single timestep. The individual files can be combined into a zip file, and that can be used as an input for the reader. Obviously the files inside the zip files must have a matching spatial and temporal domain. - It is advisable to filter the items so that only relevant data is actually stored. This can be achived using a reader parameter called AllowedItemNames. An example request might look like this:

    {
      projectId: <projectId>,
      uploadUrl: <fileUrl>,
      outputDatasetData: {
        name: <dataset-name>
      },
      readerName: 'HycomGLBv008Reader',
      writerName: 'MDWriter',
      readerParameters: [
        {
          name: 'AllowedItemNames',
          value: '["salinity", "surf_el", "water_temp", "water_u", "water_v"]'
        }
      ]
    }
