Workplan for AC3-dropsondes

This is a working repository: Many features/bug fixes/updates to come... I wouldn't trust this README to be constantly updated till there is a stable version release.

Planned Workflow

---

1. Raw data from flight

⬇️

2. Processing from ASPEN

⬇️

3. Config file (sample file here)

- Flight details
- Timestamps for circle start and end (if applicable) / optionally, flight segments
- Level of processing
- Quicklooks (optional)

⬇️

4. Run package

Data processing

- Quality control 
- Interpolating to uniform, vertical grid
- Area-averaged circle products

Quicklooks

- Map of dropsonde launch locations
    - ice-ocean-land masks
    - column moisture (as marker of colour) / any other variable of interest?
- Slices of dropsonde profiles
- Mean profile with variability 
    - Measured variables
        - Temperature
        - Pressure
        - Humidity
        - Horizontal winds
    - Derived variables
        - Static energy (moist, dry and sat. moist)
        - Divergence
        - Vorticity
        - Vertical velocity
- Drift profiles

Final dataset

- Full data processing
- Levels 0 to 4 (similar to EUREC4A? Any other suggestions?)

What is this repo for?

Tutorial on working with JOANNE and potential repo to carry forward the functions for a generic JOANNE++ package

This repo contains (or is planned to contain):

(a) notebooks that will work with JOANNE data in a tutorial format to familiarise users with the dataset (b) notebooks that can be extended to work beyond the JOANNE dataset, for similar data from other campaigns

⚠️❗ Requires cloning the JOANNE repo and installing it in working environment if additional quality control and gridding (as per JOANNE L3) or circle products (as per JOANNE L4) are to be used ❗⚠️

Think of this repo as a sandbox for JOANNE++

Idea behind JOANNE++

A package that can be used for dropsonde processing from different field campaigns that will include:

(a) scripts to process raw data and create CF-conforming datasets (b) scripts to create quicklooks during field operations (c) an intake-catalog that can help access dropsonde data from across campaigns via a single access point
