meteo2zarr

High-Performance NWP to Cloud-Native Zarr Converter for Meteorological and Climate Data

Python 3.10+ License: Apache 2.0 Code style: ruff Tests

Convert Numerical Weather Prediction outputs (AROME, ALADIN, ARPEGE, ECMWF IFS, GFS in FA, GRIB, NetCDF) into cloud-optimized, sharded, multi-dimensional Zarr stores with sliding meteorological accumulations and distributed streaming writes.

Key Features

  • Distributed and Lazy Streaming: Powered by Dask and ProcessPoolExecutor for parallel ingestion and chunked writing without out-of-memory errors.
  • Meteorological Accumulation Engine: Automatic decumulation of raw model precipitation and sliding window calculations (1h, 3h, 6h, 12h, 24h).
  • Derived Diagnostics: Computation of vector magnitude (wind speed), direction, and unit conversions (Kelvin to Celsius, Pa to hPa).
  • Cloud and Web Visualization Optimized: Calibrated chunking hierarchy designed for TiTiler-Xarray, MapLibre, and ndpyramid.
  • Dual Execution Profile: Runs smoothly on local developer laptops as well as HPC clusters (Slurm).

Installation

# Standard installation
pip install meteo2zarr

# With GRIB support (eccodes / cfgrib)
pip install meteo2zarr[grib]

# With FA support (epygram)
pip install meteo2zarr[fa]

# Complete installation (all formats + pyramids)
pip install meteo2zarr[all]

Quickstart

1. Command Line Interface (CLI)

# Convert a local model run
meteo2zarr convert \
    --model arome \
    --run 2026030100 \
    --input /path/to/raw/files \
    --output ./zarr_output \
    --dask-workers 4 \
    --chunk-time 6

2. Python API

from datetime import datetime
from meteo2zarr import NWPConverter

# Initialize converter
converter = NWPConverter(
    output_dir="./zarr_output",
    dask_workers=4,
    chunk_time=6,
)

# Run conversion
success = converter.convert(
    input_dir="/path/to/raw/files",
    model="arome",
    run_date=datetime(2026, 3, 1, 0, 0),
    dt_hours=1.0,
)
