Describe the Enhancement
Pull request dtcenter/MET#2758 for issue dtcenter/MET#2701 adds support to ascii2nc for handling the
-format ismn
option for reading soil moisture data (and other variable types too) for the ISMN Network. This issue is to update the METplus ASCII2NC wrapper to handle this new format option.I'll note that a new use case should also be added to demonstrate the actual use of this ISMN data for verification, but that issue does not yet exist. Recommend that @anewman89 add it now or once the ASCII2NC wrapper has been updated.
Sample ISMN data used by the MET unit tests can be found here:
https://dtcenter.ucar.edu/dfiles/code/METplus/MET/MET_unit_test/unit_test/obs_data/ismn/
The data is stored in separate files for each site, instrument, and variable! Each file contains data for multiple times. In fact, in the full data archive (at https://ismn.earth/en/dataviewer/api/download_archive) each file contains decades of data. Please coordinate with @anewman89 to determine the workflow for ingesting this data into METplus.
