mixmasta 0.5.17

A library for common scientific model transforms

mixmasta

A library for common scientific model transforms. This library enables fast and intuitive transforms including:

• Converting a geotiff to a csv
• Converting a NetCDF to a csv
• Geocoding csv, xls, and xlsx data that contains latitude and longitude

Setup

See docs/docker.md for instructions on running Mixmasta in Docker (easiest!).

Ensure you have a working installation of GDAL

You also need to ensure that numpy is installed prior to mixmasta installation. This is an artifact of GDAL, which will build incorrectly if numpy is not already configured:

pip install numpy==1.20.1
pip install mixmasta

Note: if you had a prior installation of GDAL you may need to run pip install mixmasta --no-cache-dir in a clean environment.

You must install the GADM2 and GADM3 data with:

mixmasta download

Usage

Examples can be found in the input directory.

Convert a geotiff to a dataframe with:

from mixmasta import mixmasta as mix
df = mix.raster2df('chirps-v2.0.2021.01.3.tif', feature_name='rainfall', band=1)

Note that you should specify the data band of the geotiff to process if it is multi-band. You may also specify the name of the feature column to produce. You may optionally specify a date if the geotiff has an associated date. For example:

Convert a NetCDF to a dataframe with:

from mixmasta import mixmasta as mix
df = mix.netcdf2df('tos_O1_2001-2002.nc')

Geocode a dataframe:

from mixmasta import mixmasta as mix

# First, load in the geotiff as a dataframe
df = mix.raster2df('chirps-v2.0.2021.01.3.tif', feature_name='rainfall', band=1)

# next, we can geocode the dataframe to the admin-level desired (`admin2` or `admin3`)
# by specifying the names of the x and y columns
# in this case, we will geocode to admin2 where x,y are are 'longitude' and 'latitude', respectively.
df_g = mix.geocode("admin2", df, x='longitude', y='latitude')

Running with CLI

After cloning the repository and changing to the mixmasta directory, you can run mixmasta via the command line.

Set-up:

While you can point mixmasta to any file you would like to transform, the examples below assume your file is in the inputs folder; the transformed .csv file will be written to the outputs folder.

• Transform geotiff to geocoded csv:

mixmasta mix --xform=geotiff --input_file=chirps-v2.0.2021.01.3.tif --output_file=geotiffTEST.csv --geo=admin2 --feature_name=rainfall --band=1 --date='5/4/2010' --x=longitude --y=latitude

• Transform geotiff to csv:

mixmasta mix --xform=geotiff --input_file=maxhop1.tif --output_file=maxhopOUT.csv --geo=admin2 --feature_name=probabilty --band=1 --x=longitude --y=latitude

• Transform netcdf to geocoded csv:

mixmasta mix --xform=netcdf --input_file=tos_O1_2001-2002.nc --output_file=netcdf.csv --geo=admin2 --x=lon --y=lat

• Transform netcdf to csv:

mixmasta mix --xform=netcdf --input_file=tos_O1_2001-2002.nc --output_file=netcdf.csv

-geocode an existing csv file:

mixmasta mix --xform=geocode --input_file=no_geo.csv --geo=admin3 --output_file=geoed_no_geo.csv --x=longitude --y=latitude

World Modelers Specific Normalization

For the World Modelers program, it is necessary to convert arbitrary csv, geotiff, and netcdf files into a CauseMos compliant format. This can be accomplished by leveraging a mapping annotation file and the causemosify command. The output is a gzipped parquet file. This may be invoked with:

mixmasta causemosify --input_file=chirps-v2.0.2021.01.3.tif --mapper=mapper.json --geo=admin3 --output_file=causemosified_example

This will produce a file called causemosified_example.parquet.gzip which can be read using Pandas with:

pd.read_parquet('causemosified_example.parquet.gzip')
