Mar 1, 2026March 2026 — Repository: metno/pyaerocom. Delivered a major feature: Earlinet reader overhaul introducing UngriddedDataStructured to improve data handling, extraction, and validation. This work included updating tests, cleaning up dead code in ReadEarlinet, and aligning CI with generic logging (removing environment-specific paths) to ensure reliable CI test runs. Follow-on CI blockers were resolved by removing a PPI observation location reference. Overall, these changes stabilize the Earlinet data ingestion pipeline, reduce maintenance overhead, and enable more robust downstream analytics.
