QUEST Supported Datasets

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.

List of Datasets

Argo

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

Adding a Dataset to QUEST

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 How to Contribute for instructions on how to contribute to icepyx.

Detailed guidelines on how to construct your dataset module are currently a work in progress.
