This database of raw data includes profile data (vertical), trajectory (horizontal), and metadata containing information on the floats themselves. 

Included in the repository:

- Bash scripts to download the profiles, trajectory files and metadata
- A principal processing script that aggregates the data by time and variable
- A script that reads sensor information from the metadata and places in a .csv file
- A script to produce climatologies of BBP700 data, including the mean, minimum and maximum of each gridpoint
