A lightweight, packaged version of the Last Millennium Reanalysis (LMR) framework

Project description

PyPI

LMR Turbo (LMRt)

A lightweight, packaged version of the Last Millennium Reanalysia (LMR) framework, inspired by LMR_lite.py originated by Professor Hakim (Univ. of Washington). Ultimately, it aims to provide following features:

  • Greater flexibility
    • Easy installation
    • Easy importing and usage in Jupyter notebooks (or scripts)
    • No assumption of a fixed folder structure; just feed the correct files to functions
    • Easy setup for different priors, proxies, and Proxy System Models (PSMs) included in PRYSM API
  • Faster speed
    • Easy parallel computing with multiprocessing and other techniques

Package dependencies

  • tqdm: A fast, extensible progress bar for Python and CLI (pip install tqdm)
  • prysm-api: The API for PRoxY System Modeling (PRYSM) (pip install prysm-api)
  • dotmap: Dot access dictionary with dynamic hierarchy creation and ordered iteration (pip install dotmap)
  • xarray: N-D labeled arrays and datasets in Python (pip install xarray)
  • netCDF4: the python interface for netCDF4 format (conda install netCDF4)
  • pyspharm: an object-oriented python interface to the NCAR SPHEREPACK library (conda install -c conda-forge pyspharm)

How to install

Once the above dependencies are installed, simply

pip install LMRt

and you are ready to

import LMRt

in python.
