argopy.ArgoFloat.metadata

argopy.ArgoFloat.metadata#

property ArgoFloat.metadata: dict#

A dictionary of float meta-data

The meta-data dictionary will have at least the following keys:

metadata["deployment"]["launchDate"]  # pd.Datetime
metadata['cycles']  # list
metadata['networks']  # list of str, eg ['BGC', 'DEEP']
metadata["platform"]["type"]  # str from Reference table 23
metadata["maker"]  # str from Reference table 24

The exact dictionary content depends on the ArgoFloat backend (online vs offline) providing meta-data.
