+## Converts an hourly WFS request to a shapefile for NCCOOS IM mouseovers
+##
+## This script makes an hourly WFS request to the main SEACOOS OBS DB via an OGC wrapper
+## that returns a GML containing formatted strings of the latest observations for each station in the BBOX.
+## The resultant GML is then reformatted to make its subsequent conversion to shapefile
+## more clean.  OGR2OGR does the conversion on only the fields of interest.  The new shapefile
+## is placed in a directory to be SFTP.d to Maury.  This shapefile is used on Maury to power
+## the Mouse Over Observations layer in the NCCOOS Interactive Map.
