# gsl-parser

Parse GSL format ascii reports from https://rucsoundings.noaa.gov

```sh

pnpm install --save gsl-parser

```

then parse away! 🎉

```ts

import parse from 'gsl-parser'

// fetch the ascii report from

// https://rucsoundings.noaa.gov/get_soundings.cgi

//

// documentation on parameters here:

// https://rucsoundings.noaa.gov/text_sounding_query_parameters.pdf

const data = parse(asciiReport)

console.log(data)

```

## Example output

This project is 100% Typescript, which helps a lot! However, you can also [check out the test fixtures](test/01/expected.json).

Note: Units of measurement are a little non-trivial. (For example, temperature is measured in tenths of a degree celsius.) [Check out the format docs for more.](https://rucsoundings.noaa.gov/raob_format.html)

## Limitations

This parser is just tested with Op40 and GFS analyses at the moment. Other reports are untested. PRs welcome!
