📄 Yr_Climfloat_netcdf.py

This script computes the yearly vertical climatologies of a specific BGC-Argo variable across various Mediterranean sub-basins.

1. Input: BGC-Argo Float Profiles: Data for a specific variable (--variable) and time range selected for each sub-basin.

2. Method: Profile Interpolation: For each sub-basin, profiles are interpolated onto the model depth levels to standardize measurements across all sub-basins. Computation of Averages & Standard Deviations: The script calculates vertical averages and standard deviations for each sub-basin, providing a robust representation of the data.

3. Output:

   PNG Figures: The script generates vertical profile plots for each sub-basin, which are saved as PNG files, offering a visual comparison of the profiles.

   CSV Files: The interpolated profile data for each sub-basin is saved as CSV files, enabling further analysis and validation.

   NetCDF Files:

   yr_Avg_.nc: Contains the mean values of the interpolated profiles for each sub-basin.

   yr_Std_.nc: Contains the standard deviations of the profiles, offering insight into the variability across the sub- basins.
