Working with EBAS Nasa Ames Files

The default file format in EBAS is a FFI 1001 Nasa Ames format with EBAS specific extensions (additional standardized EBAS metadata).

The file format is specified in the EBAS Data Submission Manual. The file format has a lot of fine syntactical and semantic details, which can make parsing files rather complex.

The most convenient way to read from EBAS Nasa Ames files is to use the ebas-io python package.

The ebas-io repository provides the package for download and includes documentation and examples for reading and writing EBAS Nasa Ames files.
