earthkit-transforms 1.0.0

Quick Start • Installation • Documentation

earthkit-transforms is a library of software tools to support people working with climate and meteorology data.

earthkit-transforms is made up of sub-modules which contains methods for transforming data in specific domains. For example, the temporal module contains methods for aggregation and statistics analysis accross time dimensions/coordinates.

It has been designed following the philosphy of earthkit, hence the methods should be interoperable with any data object understood by earthkit-data.

Installation

pip install earthkit-transforms

Quick Start

import earthkit.transforms as ekt

daily_mean = ekt.temporal.daily_mean(MY_DATA)

Detailed documentation

Please refer the earthkit-transforms readthedocs page for more detailed documentation, example notebooks and the API reference guide.

Workflow for developers/contributors

For best experience create a new environment with latest stable version of Python. The Makefile provides commands for creating a development environment with all dependencies installed in editable mode, plus pre-commit hooks. Choose the option that matches your preferred tooling:

Using pip + venv:

make clean-pip-env
. .venv/bin/activate

Using uv:

make clean-uv-env
. .venv/bin/activate

Using conda:

make clean-conda-env
conda activate ./.conda

Once your environment is active, common development tasks are also available via the Makefile:

make qa            # run pre-commit checks on all files
make unit-tests    # run the test suite with coverage
make type-check    # run mypy type checking
make docs-build    # build the documentation
