MetronomeDataProcessingPython

Files for processing raw data from the tidal tilting flume 'The Metronome' in Python

DEM processing

• NetCDF2Plots.py

This file creates basic plots from Metronome DEMs in NetCDF format

Water level data processing

• WaterLevelProcessing.py

This script processes the water level measurements from the Metronome.

The raw water level data is read from the corresponding directory and then:

• filtered for outliers
• averaged over the usually three measured cycles
• sorted to align all data equally with the tilt
• smoothed
• put in relation to the still water level
• saved as netCDF-file
• plotted

Note:

• The data should be saved in subfolders thst are named e.g. '1500cycles_tilting' and there should be at least one measurement of the still water level
• The final data does not contain the y-position of the sensors for the different measurements. Make sure to have this data elsewhere.
• The folder 'water_level' should already exist in the directory 'processed_data' of the corresponding experiment, otherwise the processed data is not saved.
• The raw data files should be named as follows: .__LT.s.csv

Other files

The other scripts necessary to process the raw Metronome data do not yet exist in Python. Some are well written in Matlab, others need a major overhaul when they are implemented in Python
