+
51
+ An open-source package that helps meteorologists and weather enthusiats download, pre-process and post-process various types of weather data.
52
+
53
+ This package only retrieves open-source publicly available weather data.
54
+
55
+ This package provides the following extra functionality compared to existing packages for downloading weather data:
56
+
57
+ **How To Install**
58
+
59
+ Copy and paste either command into your terminal or anaconda prompt:
60
+
61
+ *Install via Anaconda*
62
+
63
+ `conda install wxdata`
64
+
65
+ *Install via pip*
66
+
67
+ `pip install wxdata`
68
+
69
+ 1) Friendly for users working on VPN/PROXY connections.
70
+ - Users input their PROXY IP address as a dictionary and pass it into the function to avoid SSL errors
71
+ - If the user is on a VPN/PROXY Connection the following is needed:
72
+
73
+ proxies=None ---> proxies={
74
+ 'http':'http://url',
75
+ 'https':'https://url'
76
+ }
77
+
78
+ [e.g. get_observed_sounding_data('nkx', proxies=proxies)]
79
+
80
+ For more information on configuring proxies: https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/advanced/#proxies
81
+
82
+ - Some data access functions work on VPN/PROXY connections without needing to define VPN/PROXY settings:
83
+ - METARs
84
+ - NOAA Storm Prediction Center/National Weather Service Products
85
+ - FEMS
86
+
87
+ - Data access methods that users need to define VPN/PROXY IP addresses if using a VPN/PROXY connection:
88
+ - Various Forecast Models
89
+ - Observed Sounding Data from University of Wyoming
90
+ - Real-Time Mesoscale Analysis
91
+
92
+ 1) Converts GRIB variable keys into variable keys that are in plain language.
93
+ - (e.g. 'r2' ---> '2m_relative_humidity')
94
+
95
+ 2) Has a scanner that checks if the data files on your PC are up to date with those on the data server.
96
+ - This is a safeguard to protect newer developers from getting temporary IP address bans from the various data servers.
97
+ - Improves performance by preventing the potential of repetative downloading the same dataset.
98
+
99
+ 3) Preserves system memory via the following methods:
100
+ - Clears out old data files before each new data download.
101
+ - Optional setting `clear_recycle_bin=True` in all functions.
102
+ - When `clear_recycle_bin=True` the computer's recycle/trash bin is cleared with each run of the script using any WxData function.
103
+ - If a user wishes to not clear out their recycle bin `set clear_recycle_bin=False`.

204
+ This section of functions are for users who want full wxdata functionality.
205
+
206
+ These functions do the following:
207
+
208
+ 1) Scan for the latest available data.
209
+ - If the data on your local machine is not up to date, new data will download automatically.
210
+ - If the data on your local machine is up to date, new data download is bypassed.
211
+ - This is a safeguard that prevents excessive requests on the data servers.
212
+
213
+ 2) Builds the wxdata directory to store the weather data files.
214
+ - Scans for the directory branch and builds the branch if it does not exist.
215
+
216
+ 3) Downloads the data.
217
+ - Users can define their VPN/PROXY IP Address as a (dict) in their script and pass their
218
+ VPN/PROXY IP address into the function to avoid SSL Certificate errors when requesting data.
219
+ - Algorithm allows for up to 5 retries with a 30 second break between each retry to resolve connection
220
+ interruptions while not overburdening the data servers.
221
+
222
+ 4) Pre-processes the data via filename formatting and correctly filing in the wxdata directory.
223
+
224
+ 5) Post-processing by doing the following tasks:
225
+ - Remapping GRIB2 variable keys into plain language variable keys.
226
+ - Fixing dataset build errors and grouping all variables together.
227
+ - Transforms longitude from 0 to 360 degrees into -180 to 180 degrees.
228
+ - Subsetting the data to the latitude/longitude boundaries specified by the user.
229
+ - Converting temperature from kelvin to units the user wants (default is Celsius).
230
+ - Returning a post-processed xarray.array to the user.
231
+
232
+ 6) Preserves system memory by doing the following:
233
+ - Deleting old data files before each new download.
234
+ - When clear_recycle_bin=True, the user's recycle bin is also cleared.
