On this page, we outline the datasets that are supported by the QUEST module. Click on the links for each dataset to view information about the API and sensor/data platform used.
The Argo mission involves a series of floats that are designed to capture vertical ocean profiles of temperature, salinity, and pressure down to ~2000 m. Some floats are in support of BGC-Argo, which also includes data relevant for biogeochemical applications: oxygen, nitrate, chlorophyll, backscatter, and solar irradiance.
A paper outlining the Argo extension to QUEST is currently in preparation, with a citable preprint available in the near future.
Argo Workflow Example<quest_workbook_label>
Want to add a new dataset to QUEST? No problem! QUEST includes a template script (dataset.py
) that may be used to create your own querying module for a dataset of interest.
Once you have developed a script with the template, you may request for the module to be added to QUEST via GitHub. Please see the How to Contribute page dev_guide_label
for instructions on how to contribute to icepyx.
Detailed guidelines on how to construct your dataset module are currently a work in progress.
