NDBC Enhancements

[Flight-Lab]

Various NDBC improvements and enhancements.

• sensor additions
• data sourcing
• configuration improvements

Sensor Additions

Currently, only three data NDBC data sets are checked:

• Standard Meteorological Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/41083.txt
• Spectral Wave Summary Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/41112.spec
• Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/42084.adcp

There are additional data sets that could be checked and turned into sensors:

• Solar Radiation Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/51WH0.srad
• Oceanographic Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/42085.ocean
• Water Column Height (DART) Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/21414.dart
• Standard Meteorological Data for Drifting Buoys https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/22101.drift
• Derived Meteorological Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/derived2/
• Supplemental Measurements Data https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/41004.supl

Data Sourcing

move to using a smaller range instead of the current 45 day https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/
5 day https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/5day2/
hourly https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/hourly2/
latest https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/latest_obs/

5 day and hourly don't seem to be available for every station

Configuration

Improve method of sensor identification.
Pull Station details (name, owner, etc.) for hub details (name, model, manufacturer).
