v0.5.x to v0.6.0 changes

In order to enhance the compliance of echopype-generated datasets to the SONAR-netCDF4 version 1 convention, a number of changes were introduced in echopype v0.6.0 that create incompatibilities with the data structure used in previous versions.

To ease the transition, the open_converted function is able to open files previously converted using echopype v0.5.x (0.5.0 to 0.5.6) into the v0.6.0 data format, encapsulated in the EchoData object.

Key changes involved renaming and restructuring a couple of groups, and renaming some coordinates and data variables, as summarized below:

Type	v0.5.x	v0.6.0	Rationale and notes
Group	Beam	Sonar/Beam_group1	Convention compliance
Group	Beam_power	Sonar/Beam_group2	Convention compliance
Group	Vendor	Vendor_specific	Convention compliance
Coordinate	frequency	channel	Accommodate channels with duplicated frequencies. The new variable frequency_nominal was introduced
Coordinate	range_bin	range_sample	Better intuitive understanding of data
Coordinate	quadrant	beam	Convention compliance. This Beam_groupX coordinate was added when it did not exist.
Coordinate	location_time	time1	Convention compliance. In Platform group
Coordinate	mru_time	time2	Convention compliance. In Platform group
Variable	heave	vertical_offset	Convention compliance. In Platform group
Variable	src_filenames	source_filenames	Convention compliance. In Provenance group. Also converted from global attribute to variable

Other changes included:

• Adding previously missing, mandatory convention variables. When no data are available to populate them, these are filled with null (NaN) values.

• Moving variables from one group to another, particularly from the Beam groups to Platform and Vendor. These variables were not typically not part of the convention.

• The Beam_groupX beamwidth_receive_athwartship and beamwidth_transmit_athwartship variables were consolidated into beamwidth_twoway_athwartship because the EK60 and EK80 echosounders do not store one-way transmit or receive beam widths. Likewise for beamwidth_receive_alongship and beamwidth_transmit_alongship.

More details, including Pull Requests and discussions related to these changes, can be found in the Release notes.

Convert old files to v0.6.0 format

To convert data files from v0.5.x to v0.6.0 format, simply open the old files and re-save them:

import echopype as ep
# open old v0.5.x file and convert it into a v0.6.0-format EchoData object
ed = ep.open_converted("old_format_file.nc")
ed.to_netcdf("new_format_file.nc")

v0.5.x data format

Below we provide a sample of the v0.5.x data format via a printout of the previous EchoData object.

Compare this with the v0.6.0 EchoData object to see the changes listed in the table above.
