What's the Problem?
- ARGO oceanographic data is stored in complex NetCDF files
- Researchers spend hours writing SQL or dealing with command-line tools
- Difficult for non-technical users to access geospatial ocean insights
What Does FloatChat Do?
- Transforming ARGO NetCDF data into structured, queryable format (Postgres + PostGIS)
- Allowing conversational queries → precise SQL + visualization
- Offering real-time interactive dashboards (trajectories, depth-time plots)
