After looking at the html representation of the EchoData object for the EK80 sensor, I noticed that there seems to be a printed sentence that does not quite make sense....

Improve chunking when saving to a file

1

When we use the routines `ed.to_zarr()` or `ed.to_netcdf()` we eventually call the function [_save_groups_to_file](https://github.com/OSOceanAcoustics/echopype/blob/0095f1595ee6f07926cbb25ed5319c9afb60f275/echopype/convert/api.py#L103). Within this function we automatically chunk the xarray dataset with respect to coordinates such as `range_sample`...

Investigate memory usage of `ZarrCombine`

1

When first creating the `ZarrCombine` class, it was found that combining a large number of files could lead to a substantial increase in memory usage. In PR #824 the class...

Currently we require that the input `zarr_path` in `combine_echodata` is a string. For convenience, we should also let `zarr_path` be of type `pathlib.Path`.

Consider allowing `combine` to accept different sized `channel` dimensions

1

In PR #808 it was found that some files from `noaa-wcsd-pds/data/raw/Bell_M._Shimada/SH1701/EK60` can have different sized `channel` dimensions. In PR #808 we will not allow these types of files to be...

Create version converter beyond v0.6.0

1

In some PRs/issues we have made or will make some small changes to the `EchoData` structure e.g. #677, #806. Since we made these changes, the mapping of v0.5.x to v0.6.3...

Account for `conversion` -> `combination` change in `Provenance` attribute

1

In PR #806 `conversion` was changed to `combination` in `combine.py`. This causes issues when displaying a combined file because we specifically obtain the version from the `Provenance` attributes: https://github.com/OSOceanAcoustics/echopype/blob/47b827a927f73b7e00f3a27e48b6509037a1732a/echopype/echodata/echodata.py#L183-L186 I...

This PR addresses #17 by adding channels to the requirements file, updating how to create a conda envrionment using the requirements file, and renaming it to requirements.yaml (so it is...
