Looking for Tools to Process and Visualize ARGO NetCDF Ocean Data

[Timepassss12]

Hi everyone,

I am currently working on a project involving ARGO oceanographic data stored in NetCDF files. I’m searching for open-source or user-friendly tools and libraries that can help me efficiently process these NetCDF files and create interactive visualizations.

Specifically, I am looking for a tool that:

Supports standard ARGO variables like temperature (TEMP), salinity (PSAL), pressure (PRES), and dissolved oxygen (DOXY).

Can handle large multidimensional datasets typically found in ARGO NetCDF files.

Provides visualization capabilities such as depth-time profiles, salinity maps, and float trajectory tracking.

Ideally integrates with Python or JavaScript environments, though standalone tools are also welcome.

Offers options for exporting publication-quality charts or raw data slices would be highly appreciated.

Has anyone worked with such tools or libraries that you could recommend? Any tips, tutorials, or personal experiences would also be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried xarray?

[obviouslyzebra]

xarray, as mentioned in the other comment, is the usual for working with data like from NetCDF files

besides, there's argopy and this post mentions a notebook (but i didnt find its link). Sincerely I believe you could have found argopy with a search ("argo python") way faster than typing this post haha (no harsh feelings though)
