Boreholes: ice temperature profiles
Temperature profiles measured in boreholes through ice sheets and ice caps. Boreholes is a records dataset (non-gridded data, see Records): its products, defined in Boreholes/records.toml, are prepared files in the form of the CF discrete sampling geometries, written to $FESMDATA_PRODUCTS/Records/Boreholes/Boreholes-<product>.nc.

Making the dataset
julia fesmdata.jl record Boreholesprepares the missing sources (<Source>/prepare.jl), checks the prepared files and copies them to $FESMDATA_PRODUCTS/Records/Boreholes/ (--overwrite to replace them).
