Community Data Tools

Here, we have compiled tools that community members have built to access, analyze, and visualize datasets. We hope you find them helpful in advancing your efforts to use OOI data in your work.

These data analysis and visualization tools have been compiled and are maintained by community members. Should you have a question about a specific tool, please reach out to the tool creator directly.  If you need further help or a have a tool you’d like to share, please reach out to the HelpDesk.

OOIPY: A Python Toolbox

OOI community members Felix Schwock, John Ragland, Matthew Munson, and Shima Abadi created a Python toolobx design to aid in the scientific analysis of OOI data.  It allows users to access OOI broadband and low frequency hydrophone data, compute spectograms and power spectral density (PSD) estimates using the Bartlett/Welch method, and visualize spectrograms and PSD estimates.
