Python script to decode WMO FM13 SHIP telegram data recorded during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE)

This python script decodes the raw telegrams with meteorological, ocean and ice information encoded using WMO FM13 SYNOP/SHIP code. The original telegrams were recorded on board R/V Akademik Tryoshnikov during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE; November 2016-April 2017). Decoded output...

Description
Summary:This python script decodes the raw telegrams with meteorological, ocean and ice information encoded using WMO FM13 SYNOP/SHIP code. The original telegrams were recorded on board R/V Akademik Tryoshnikov during the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition (ACE; November 2016-April 2017). Decoded output data are ASCII tab-separated (which can be imported to Excel). The script can be used to decode WMO FM13 SYNOP/SHIP telegrams from other sea stations. The Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition was made possible by funding from the Swiss Polar Institute and Ferring Pharmaceuticals. I.G. thanks FCT/MCTES for the financial support to CESAM (UID/AMB/50017/2019) through national funds. This project has received funding from EPFL, Swiss Polar Institute and from Ferring Pharmaceuticals.
