Query: Echopype: A Python library for interoperable and scalable processing of
  water column sonar data for biological information   High-frequency sonar systems deployed on a broad variety of ocean observing
platforms are creating a deluge of water column sonar data at unprecedented
speed from all corners of the ocean. Efficient and integrative analysis of
these data, either across different sonar instruments or with other
oceanographic datasets, holds the key to monitoring and understanding the
response of marine organisms to the rapidly changing environments. In this
paper we present echopype, an open-source Python software library designed to
address this need. By standardizing water column sonar data from diverse
instrument sources following a community convention and utilizing the widely
embraced netCDF data model to encode sonar data as labeled, multi-dimensional
arrays, echopype facilitates intuitive, user-friendly exploration and use of
sonar data in an instrument-agnostic manner. Through leveraging existing
open-source Python libraries optimized for distributed computing, echopype
directly enables computational interoperability and scalability in both local
and cloud computing environments. Echopype's modularized package structure
further provides a conceptually unified implementation framework for expanding
its support for additional instrument raw data formats and incorporating new
data analysis and visualization functionalities. We envision the continued
development of echopype as a catalyst for making information derived from water
column sonar data an integrated component of regional and global ocean
observation strategies.
