📄 0_count_avai_nprofiles.py

This script performs the following tasks:

1. Counts the number of available BGC-Argo float profiles per basin, using the full dataset (climatological months).
2. Plots the distribution of available profiles across climatological months (January to December).

It uses the function timerequestors.Clim_month() to assign all BGC-Argo profiles to a specific climatological month, enabling aggregation independent of the specific year.

This is useful for assessing temporal coverage of the dataset before computing climatologies.
