Get full metadata from CSV file - BEDMAP

This notebook shows how to get the rich and complete metadata from the Bedmap CSV file. It also shows how to convert the CSV file to NCCSV (NetCDF compatible CSV) as an example to the FAIR implementation of the CSV format used for Bedmap.

With only access to the CSV file, it is possible to programmatically obtain rich metadata from the file without having a complex metadata structure as header information in the file.

The data

The BEDMAP CSV files are available for downmoad from the UK Polar data Centre:

Upload the modules

For this conversion, we will need pandas, json, xarray, netCDF4 and urllib modules.

import pandas as pd
import json
import urllib.request
import xarray
import netCDF4 as nc 

Opening and reading the CSV metadata

For this exercise, we only need to check the short metadata provided in the CSV file.

CSV_file = 'E:/BEDMAP/AWI_2015_GEA-DML_AIR_BM3.csv'
csv_metadata = pd.read_csv(CSV_file, nrows=18, sep = ': ', engine='python', header= None)

First, we set the index as the first column (column 0 in our case).

csv_metadata[0] = csv_metadata[0].str.strip('#')
csv_metadata = csv_metadata.set_index(0)

The data from the CSV file are transformed to a dictionary for an easy handling of the metadata.

dict_metadata = csv_metadata.to_dict()[1]

   'description': 'The primary source data consist of survey point measurements of ice thickness, bed elevation and surface elevation, which principally comes from airborne radar surveys and seismic soundings, and to a smaller extent from ground-based radar surveys. All the data have been standardised to a specific CSV format. The format consists of (i) an extended header section where (a) each line is introduced by a comment (#) character, (b) each line contains a single header item, (c) the colon character (:) is used as the key/value separator, (d) units are in parentheses, (e) attributes preferably use a common vocabulary such as the CF convention and includes attributes from the ACDD; (ii) a header row composed of the column name following the CF convention and units in parentheses; and finally (iii) the data using comma as the separator. The extended header consists of general information regarding each campaign such as the year, the name of the main investigator, funding and processing details. The variable names are as follows: trajectory_id Line or Flight ID trace_number Trace number from the specific line given in Line_ID longitude Longitude (WGS84 EPSG: 4326) in decimal degrees latitude Latitude (WGS84 EPSG: 4326) in decimal degrees date Date following ISO 8601 format: YYYY: year, MM: month, DD: day time_UTC UTC time following ISO 8601 format: HH: hours, MM: minutes, SS: seconds surface_altitude Surface elevation or altitude (referenced to WGS84) in meters land_ice_thickness Ice thickness in meters bedrock_altitude Bed elevation or altitude (referenced to WGS84) in meters two_way_travel_time Two-way travel time in seconds aircraft_altitude Aircraft elevation or altitude when applicable (referenced to WGS84) in meters along_track_distance Distance in the along-track direction in meters',

   'description': "All non-value data were converted to -9999, including any negative ice thickness values and any points with clear outliers. We checked the minimum and maximum values of each field to ensure the data are in a reasonable range and calculated mean and standard deviation on each dataset to identify potential issues. For example, if longitude/latitude values did not fall within the expected -180 to 180 or -50 to -90 degrees range respectively, the entire row was removed. When no ice thickness values were provided but surface and bed elevation values existed, we simply calculated ice thickness by subtracting the surface value from the bed value. At times, bed elevation was higher than surface elevation, likely due to issues with the semi-automatic picker used to extract the surface and bed reflector or a lack of distinctive reflectors in areas of shallow ice. To prevent this affecting the gridded product, we converted these values to -9999 for both the surface and the bed. Finally, we also conducted routine checks on the ice thickness data by comparing the given ice thickness value with the inferred ice thickness calculated from subtracting surface with bed. If these did not match, we placed -9999 on the ice thickness values. File naming conventions were also used throughout to easily identify a specific dataset as follows: DataProvider_Year_CampaignName_TypeofData_BM3. The type of data used was separated into three categories: Airborne Radar (AIR), Ground-based Radar (GRN), and Seismic (SEI) data. The 'BM3' abbreviation at the end identifies the datasets was part of the Bedmap3 compilation to differentiate from the Bedmap 1 and 2 (BM1 and BM2) compilations. For instance, the file named 'NASA_2019_ICEBRIDGE_AIR_BM3.csv' refers to the ICEBRIDGE airborne campaign led by NASA in 2019.",

For example, if longitude/latitude values did not fall within the expected -180 to 180 or -50 to -90 degrees range respectively, the entire row was removed. When no ice thickness values were provided but surface and bed elevation values existed, we simply calculated ice thickness by subtracting the surface value from the bed value. At times, bed elevation was higher than surface elevation, likely due to issues with the semi-automatic picker used to extract the surface and bed reflector or a lack of distinctive reflectors in areas of shallow ice. To prevent this affecting the gridded product, we converted these values to -9999 for both the surface and the bed. Finally, we also conducted routine checks on the ice thickness data by comparing the given ice thickness value with the inferred ice thickness calculated from subtracting surface with bed. If these did not match, we placed -9999 on the ice thickness values. File naming conventions were also used throughout to easily identify a specific dataset as follows: DataProvider_Year_CampaignName_TypeofData_BM3. The type of data used was separated into three categories: Airborne Radar (AIR), Ground-based Radar (GRN), and Seismic (SEI) data. The 'BM3' abbreviation at the end identifies the datasets was part of the Bedmap3 compilation to differentiate from the Bedmap 1 and 2 (BM1 and BM2) compilations. For instance, the file named 'NASA_2019_ICEBRIDGE_AIR_BM3.csv' refers to the ICEBRIDGE airborne campaign led by NASA in 2019.",

Converting the CSV file to NetCDF with rich metadata

First, we will load the data, convert them to an array and convert them to NetCDF.

csv_data = pd.read_csv(CSV_file, skiprows=18, low_memory=False)

After opening the data as a dataframe, we convert the data to an array using xarray library:

xr = xarray.Dataset.from_dataframe(csv_data)

We then add the attributes from our metadata dictionary that we just created.

xr.attrs = dict_metadata
xr

We can add the standard names and units for all the variables:

name_dict = {}
for name, variables in xr.variables.items():
    xr[name].attrs['standard_name'] = name.split(' (')[0]
    xr[name].attrs['long_name'] = name.split(' (')[0]
    if '(' in name:
        xr[name].attrs['units'] = name.split(' (')[1][:-1]
    else:
        xr[name].attrs['units'] = ''
    name_dict[name] = name.split(' (')[0]
xr = xr.rename(name_dict=name_dict) 

We save the data to NetCDF

filename = CSV_file.strip('.csv')
xr.to_netcdf('%s.nc' %filename)

Although the CSV metadata are quite small, all the enriched metadata can be easily retrieved from the DOI metadata. The missing points are linked to parameters that are not referenced in the conventions cited.
