TCCON/py-ginput – ginput v1.4.1 release

Description

This release fixes a bug when creating satellite prior files with a specific O2 dry mole fraction file as input and adds more flexibility to the creation of the O2 dry air mole fraction files:

• When passing an O2 file to the oco or acos subcommands with the --fo2-file option, it is now correctly passed down into the functions that calculate the priors. Because these function instantiate an instance of the O2 record class, ginput would crash if you specified --fo2-file without having the default O2 file in the ginput data directory. This is now fixed.
• The update_fo2 subcommand now accepts a --dest-file argument to specify where to write the new/updated O2 file, rather than assuming that it should overwrite the existing O2 file.
• The update_fo2 subcommand now has a --no-download flag to disable automatic download of the NOAA and Scripps input files required for the O2 DMF calculation. In that case, the location of these files can be specified through the --download-dir option, which can accept either a path to a directory containing the files (which must have the expected names) or a JSON file specifying where to find each of the 4 required files.
• The update_fo2 subcommand now has a --extrap-to-year option, which will cause the output f(O2) file to be extrapolated to the given year. This allows less dependence on the upstream data files being kept up-to-date.

Other changes:

• A new one time script is included to pad NOAA hourly data with fill values to the end of the current year, in case the available hourly files stop early.
• NOAA data through 2024 is included in the repo for future-proofing.
