Arguments

`files`	A character vector of castaway CTD files in CSV format to process
`destination`	an existing folder to save netCDF files to
`project_lead`	an optional field to add the project lead's name to the file global attributes
`project`	Character string indicating the funding source and or overarching project this data was collected as part of
`cf_title`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation). A succinct description of what is in the dataset.
`cf_institute`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation). Specifies where the original data was produced.
`cf_source`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation). The method of production of the original data. If it was model-generated, source should name the model and its version, as specifically as could be useful. If it is observational, source should characterize it (e.g., "surface observation" or "radiosonde").
`cf_history`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation). Provides an audit trail for modifications to the original data. Well-behaved generic netCDF filters will automatically append their name and the parameters with which they were invoked to the global history attribute of an input netCDF file. We recommend that each line begin with a timestamp indicating the date and time of day that the program was executed.
`cf_references`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation). Published or web-based references that describe the data or methods used to produce it.
`cf_comment`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation). Miscellaneous information about the data or methods used to produce it.
`cf_author`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation)
`cf_conventions`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation)
`cf_calendar`	an optional field to add to the generated NetCDF file's global attributes (required for CF compliant NetCDF file creation). Specifies the calendar used for time dimensions. (http://cfconventions.org/Data/cf-conventions/cf-conventions-1.10/cf-conventions.html#calendar)
`creation_date`	creation date to append to the global attributes of the NetCDF file
