Convert SEG-Y files to netCDF format#

Description#

This utility script converts (multiple) SEG-Y file(s) to netCDF format using the Python package segysak in parallel.

Usage#

This script is designed to be used from the terminal (i.e. command line).

Command line interface#

The script can handle two different inputs:

  1. single SEG-Y file (e.g., filename.sgy)
  2. datalist of files to process (e.g., datalist.txt)
  3. directory with input files (e.g., /input_dir)

There are two options to run the script. We recommend using the CLI entry point like:

>>> 09_convert_segy2netcdf {filename.sgy | datalist.txt | </directory>} [optional parameters]

Alternatively, the script can be executed using the (more verbose) command:

>>> python -m pseudo_3D_interpolation.cnv_segy2netcdf {filename.sgy | datalist.txt | </directory>} [optional parameters]

Optionally, the following parameters can be specified:

  • --help, -h: Show help.
  • --output_dir {DIR}: Output directory.
  • --suffix {sgy}: File suffix (default: sgy). Only used if directory is specified.
  • --filename_suffix {SUFFIX}: Filename suffix (e.g. pad, static) to filter input files. Only used if directory is specified.
  • --nprocesses: Number of parallel conversions (should be ≤ number of available CPUs).
  • --verbose {LEVEL}, -V: Level of output verbosity (default: 0).
