Software to manage glider missions on web

This project is for manage glider missions and simulations

1. Position of the glider with AIS data layer on web

• python code to parse the glider position from log files
• command to request AIS data from Finnish Transport Agency's service (in the Baltic Sea area)
• web page with some javascript to show the data

For retrieving the glider log from the dockserver I used John Kerfoot's dockserver mirroring system: https://github.com/kerfoot/dockserver-mirror

Scripts still in beta state, be free to modify!

Dataserver directory structure:

<gliderfiles root>
-/src
--- source codes
-/forweb
-- active mission configuration: current_missions.txt
-- jsonfiles generated
-/<glider directories>
--/data: data for the 
--- goto_lxx.ma files of the mission
--- generated files
 (dockserver mirror part:)
--/logs
--- glider log files from the dockserver
--/from-glider
--- data files retrieved from the glider
--/to-glider
--- files to send to the glider
