CTDFjorder

Welcome to the CTDFjorder documentation! This guide will help you get started with using the CTDFjorder library, designed to process and analyze CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, Depth) data efficiently.

Agnostic Inputs

Supports RBR, AML and SonTek Castaway files with broader support coming soon.

Rapid Reads

Uses polars as the data manipulation library for high throughput.

AI Analytics

Implements cutting edge small footprint AI models for data cleaning.

CLI Interface

Provides a well-documented command line interface for ease of use and multicore processing when handling numerous files.

Cross-Language Compatibility

Can be implemented in R scripts with no functionality lost.

Open Source

Moving away from proprietary pipelines provides more insight into analysis, and greater assurance in results.
