What is it

ACT is a python library used to parse and analyze data relevant to the field of atmospheric chemistry.

Main Features

  1. Parse data from Thermo Scientific analyzers and export to csv, txt, or xlsx format
  2. Import data from csv, xlsx, or txt files into pandas dataframes for further analysis
  3. Plot diurnal profiles of trace gases
  4. Parse and mesh data from Potential Aerosol Mass (PAM) LabVIEW program
  5. Parse and plot data from Volatility and Polarity Separator (VAPS)

Background

I started to develop this library because I was tired of dealing with Thermo Scientifics terrible data storage and don't like using software I have to pay for (Matlab, Igor Pro)
