Global Carbon Budget table

Creates an overview of SOCAT measurements made in the previous year to be used for reporting to the Global Carbon Budget.

A tsv file containing: <Platform Start Datetime End Datetime Region No. of samples (in XXXX) Principal Investigator DOI (if available) QC flag Platform type Days Expocode>

The majority of information is fetched from the SOCAT synthesis global file. The region(s) are fetched from regional files, platform type is fetched from a separate file assembled from previous years GCB reports and added to as needed.

The SOCAT synthesis files are fetched from https://www.socat.info/index.php/data-access/ Last accessed 2020.07.06

Requires:

• Global and regional synthesis SOCAT files
• A previous years version of the GCB overview for platform-type retrieval

Order of operations:

• Regions.py and platform_type.py must be run prior to the main GCBoverview_script.

• Regions.py takes a long time to run. An hour+. Plan accordingly.

• When regions.csv and platform_type.csv is created the main script can be run.

• The platform type is set to 'None' for all new/unknown platforms. Go through GCB.csv and identify all new platforms (where the platform-type is missing). Add them to the platform_type.csv with prefix, name and type, and run the main script again.

• Check the final GCB.csv and identify if any work needs to be done with regards to the DOIs. Remove 'None'-entries if that is preferred.
