About The Project

This file converter is a quick way to read in varibles from .cf files (netCDF) and convert to CSV. It was initially created to process large amounts of Physical Oceanography data to be consumed and joined in an easy way.

If you're wishing to test this with Chlorophyll, dowload data from here: https://oceancolor.gsfc.nasa.gov/l3/

Add the downloaded files to the folders mentioned in script.py & update the variable names if needed.
