clouddrift.adapters.glad#

This module defines functions used to adapt the Grand LAgrangian Deployment (GLAD) CODE-style drifter trajectories dataset from the Consortium for Advanced Research on Transport of Hydrocarbon in the Environment (CARTHE) as a ragged-array dataset.

The datasets and their respective description are hosted at:

Example#

>>> from clouddrift.adapters import glad
>>> ra = glad.to_raggedarray()

to retrieve the default qc2 version of the dataset. To retrieve the raw or qc1 versions, pass the version name as an argument to to_raggedarray(), e.g. glad.to_raggedarray(version=”raw”).
