Overview

adios_db is a package that provides facilities for working with petroleum products data for oil spill response. It is used to support the NOAA ADIOS^® Oil Database project:

http://adios.orr.noaa.gov

The data conforms to the NOAA ADIOS^® Data Model.

Fundamentally, the package provides a set of Python objects that represent the data model. Each of these objects can save itself to / load itself from JSON data.

At the top level is the Oil object, which represents a complete oil record.

At the bottom level is the Measurement representing a single measurement. There are a set of Measurement subclasses representing different physical unit types, so that the units can be properly maintained, converted, etc.
