oharvester

Goal: A repository with a library of functions, scripts, and tutorials for harvesting oceanographic data.

• Each tool works basically like this:

toolX(time range, spatial range, data source)
  {
    gets [data] from specified source
    returns [data]
    (or possibly saves [data] to a file)
  }

Sometimes the needs change a little bit, so the arguments to the functions can change, too. For example, if you need to retrieve point data the too might work as shown below. In this case, points might be a data frame with lon, lat, and date columns.

toolX(points, data source)
  {
    gets [data] from specified source
    returns [data]
    (or possibly saves [data] to a file)
  }
