Load OceanGliders Format

[lukegre]

Rationale

OceanGliders community is moving toward the uniform OG format. Having a function to load this data would be central to the usability of GT. Link to the documentation for this format will be posted when this is finalised.

How the user would call this functionality.

Would conform to the current API where a module for loading.

gt.load.oceanglider_netcdf(path_to_file)

Outline what is needed for this feature

An example file format for development.
File structure should be similar to EGO format so could use existing code as template for quick implementation.

This is an issue from the #46 wishlist

@vturpin can you provide an up to date example file format?

[soerenthomsen]

I suggest to name the function gt.load.oceangliders_netcdf(path_to_file) i.e. with an "s"

Any questions related to the OG1.0 format etc should be raised in the official OceanGlidersCommunity repo here:

Thanks @vturpin
