The YOPP observation siteMIP (model inter-comparison program) was convened to facilitate observational super sites and NWP modelers making their high resolution in-space-and-time data available in a cross-compatible standard formatted way, specifically for process evaluation. The project has grown in somewhat in scope to be a more generic data formatting toolkit. It is a python project lead by Michael Gallagher (CIRES/NOAA Research Scientst), co-maintained with significant contributions by Jareth Holt (MISU), designed to simplify processing data into this standardized format, for scientists working with site observationsand model output files. The idea being that the toolkit provides an interface between your data and the details of the netcdf output format, saving you time, energy, and effort. As a user of the toolkit writing a simple basic well-formatted fully documented netcdf data file could be as simple as seven lines of code!
