Data preview before conversion

[lesserwhirls]

When PIs use Rosetta to convert csv to netCDF-CF, it would be nice to allow them to have an interface to see their station/profile/trajectory on a map with access to time series previews of their data prior to conversion.

An interesting workflow might be found here (thanks to @neothemachine and @jonblower for brining this to our attention!):

This is how it currently looks like, but we can add different general visualization options on an as-need basis, so if there is a need for something then I could look at implementing that. I guess the main thing though is to convert the csv to CovJSON within the browser. Once that works the rest will be easy I think.

...Or first upload csv to the server, convert it there to CovJSON and transfer it back to the browser as a preview, and then have an netcdf-export button or something like that. Probably the easier way since all the data reading etc is implemented in the server already, compared to converting csv directly in the browser to CovJSON without any server upload.
