This component provides a mechanism to directly ingest EBAS style NASA/Ames formatted data. It operates by matching patterns in the file against a set of pre-configured templates and generating the data they match.

Usage

da.import.ebas [switches…​] [file]

Switches

--archive=STRING

This is the archive that the data is imported as. For example, "raw" or "clean". This can be overridden by specific import profiles.

Default: raw

--instrument=STRING

This is the instrument suffix to use when generating variable names. For example, "S11". This can be override by specific profiles.

Default: Automatic

--profile=STRING

This is the base profile configuration used to convert data. The profile determines the templates the data are matched against to produce the final output. Consult the station configuration for available profiles.

Default: aerosol

--station=STRING

This is the station that the data is imported as. For example, "bnd". This can be overridden by specific import profiles. Normally this is determined by the contents of the file.

Default: Automatic

Arguments

file

This argument is used to specify the the file to read data from. If it is present and exists then data is read from the given file name instead of from standard input. Alternatively - (a single dash) may be used to explicitly specify standard input.

If no file is supplied then the input is read from standard input.

Examples

Defaults

This imports EBAS data using the normal profile and fully automatic determination.
