[New Code]: plot_bottles_over_topography

[ShuwenTan-PO]

What does this code do?

This code plots bottle depths over topography along a GO-SHIP transect.

Why is it useful to the GO-SHIP/oceanographic cruise community?

Bottles along a GO-SHIP transect must be arranged to cover most of the water bodies. Therefore, instead of sampling at "standard levels", GO-SHIP uses three sampling schema in rotation to stagger standard sampling depths for consecutive stations. Caution needs to be exercised when designing bottle depths near changing bathymetry or when encountering a faulty bottle that consistently fails at the same depth. Both cases may cause two adjacent stations to have samples at similar depths. Being able to visualize planned, fired (and misfired) bottles over topography will help decision-making in terms of schema rotation and bottom depth design to prevent such occurrences.

Hi @ShuwenTan-PO thanks for this submission and we would be delighted to have the CPD bottles code as part of GO-SHIP.

I will create a repository with an MIT License and empty README for you and invite you to be a manager.
I will also open an issue with further details about uploading the code.
