Motivation
As per the requests from the scientists, we needed to convert new datasets into COGs for research purposes. Some of them are mentioned below:
Changes
Previously, netCDF to COG transformations were performed using cog_translate. Now we are using xarray to reduce the number of steps for the transformation. We also have created a metadata file that keeps any information provided in the netcdf file. Along with the metadat, we also create a .csv file which keeps the names of all the files which have been converted making it easier to track the converted files.
Since these datasets are closely related to GHGC, the transformations are being stored in ghgc-data-store-dev bucket.
