TerMPS 0.0.2.1

Preprocessing system for the TerM (INM RAS-MSU land surface model)

Preprocessing system (TerMPS) delivering the land surface parameters for the INM RAS-MSU (TerM) model.

Preprocessing system was developed in the Python programming language (Python 3) in the form of a py-module (preprocessing_module.py). The module (preprocessing_module.py) consists of several parts.

1. Functions for generating data on an arbitrary uniform latitude-longitude grid:
   • read_data
   • create_grid
   • select_cells
   • calc_area_cell
   • calc_weighted_average
   • calc_weighted_average4grid (multiprocessor mode)
   • calc_percentage_type
2. Functions for generating data on an arbitrary vertical (depth) grid:
   • calc_layer_bounds
   • calc_delta_layer
   • recalc_levels
3. Additional functions:
   • write_netcdf_2d
   • write_netcdf_3d
   • convert_tiff_to_netcdf

A detailed description of the package is presented on the Wiki.
