Cube-to-CSV?

[Ag Stephens]

Hi all,

Some of my/our users like to work with CSV files and Excel as their data management tool. I know it is an age-old issue that there is no standard for CSV (other than "do use commas") so it is not possible to provide a generic cube-to-csv converter.

However, I suspect that some Iris users have produced libraries to formalise some conversions between cubes and specific CSV outputs. Please share any experience you have on this.

Many thanks,

Ag

I suspect the easiest route to this is to convert a cube to a pandas dataframe and use the CSV writing capabilities of pandas to write the required output.

Thanks Andrew,

I will take a look at the interface between Iris and Pandas - looks like a good starting point.

Cheers,

Ag
