nasa-pace-data-reader 0.0.3.12

A package for reading NASA PACE data files.

NASA-PACE-Data-Reader

This repository hosts a Python package designed to read L1C files from NASA PACE instruments, including HARP2, SPEXone, and OCI. Future development plans include the addition of readers for L2 aerosol and surface products.

Building and Uploading the Package:

To build and upload the package, you can either run the sh Install.sh script (ensure to specify the correct version), or follow the steps outlined below:

Example Usage:

Here is a simple example of how to use the package:

from nasa_pace_data_reader import L1

# Location of the file
fileName = '/Users/aputhukkudy/Downloads/PACE_HARP2.20220321T101844.L1C.5.2KM.V03.SIM2.1_.nc'

# Read the file
l1c = L1.L1C()
l1c_dict = l1c.read(fileName)

# Print the keys and the shape of the data
[print('{:>24}: {}'.format(key, l1c_dict[key].shape)) for key in l1c_dict.keys()][0]

pixel = [250,300]

# Load the plot class
plt_ = plot.Plot(l1c_dict)

# Set the dpi
plt_.setDPI(256)

# set which band to plot
band = 'NIR'
plt_.setBand(band)

# Plot the pixel
plt_.plotPixel(pixel[0], pixel[1])

# define the wavelengths and variables to plot
plt_.setInstrument()

# plot all vars and bands
plt_.plotPixelVars(pixel[0], pixel[1])

# plot only specific bands and vars
plt_.vars2plot = ['i', 'q', 'u']    # Order in the list is the order of plotting
plt_.bands2plot = ['NIR', 'blue']   # Order in the list is the order of plotting

# plot 
plt_.plotPixelVars(pixel[0], pixel[1], bands= plt_.bands2plot, alpha=0.5, linewidth=0.5) # you can pass any other arguments to the plot function
