convert-netcdf-to-csv.ipynb

Hi, I'm looking for a dataset just like your to use on my project, can you shere the link with me, i will appreciated.

Hi @saratiedt! The data access for the dataset used in this (very old) tutorial is available from the official dataset landing page: https://resources.marine.copernicus.eu/?option=com_csw&view=details&product_id=SST_GLO_SST_L4_NRT_OBSERVATIONS_010_001

Feel free to check our HelpCenter out for self-service support!

Thanks,

Hello, thanks for the great explanation!

My data would appear in a 3x3 grid for lon and lat.
What data is included in the csv? Only the one from the "top left corner"?
Or is it interpolated?

Hi @mara24na , thanks for your comment !

Please note that this snippet code is quite old and I would recommend to use the Copernicus Marine User Support Toolbox that has the feature to convert from NetCDF to CSV, namely .to_csv() and .to_mfcsv(), "out of the box".

You can install it via PyPI:
pip install cmemsapi

Or (most recommended) if you prefer conda :
conda create --name cmems --channel conda-forge --channel cmust python=3.8 cmemsapi --yes

You can read more and get examples in How to download a large volume (e.g. full time-series, several GigaBytes) of data in netcdf4 or csv file format?.

W/r on your question, I strongly suggest to get in touch with the User Support using the widget chat in bottom right of each Copernicus Marine webpages:

Wishing you good luck!

Hi @copernicusmarine

Thanks for the code is there a way to only convert the netcdf to csv for a specific region rather than the whole netcdf files please.

Thanks

Hi @GIS243,
There are many ways to achieve what you expect!
Please contact our User Support (or via chat) with an example of marine product of your interest. They will guide you with the best scenario matching your needs (i.e. preprocessing netcdf file before downloading it).
Thanks
