gliderdac is a code set that takes data from a Teledyne Webb Research (TWR) Slocum Glider and prepares it for submission to the IOOS National Glider Data Assembly Center (NGDAC or DAC). Submission to the DAC requires processing the native Slocum glider data from segments (1 or more dives and climb pairs between surfacings) into profiles (a single dive or climb) in NetCDF file format. So the gliderdac code takes in segment data files (particularly the ASCII data processed from Slocum binary data), does some processing, and splits segments into profiles and writes each profile to a NetCDF file which includes all of the relevant CF compliant metadata

Before running this code, become familiar with the NGDAC format described at https://ioos.github.io/ioosngdac/
