Project description

Open-Radar-Data

CI PyPI Version Conda Version

A place to share radar data with the community, shared between the open radar packages

Sample data sets

These files are used as sample data in openradar examples/notebooks and are downloaded by open-radar-data package:

Adding new datasets

To add a new dataset file, please follow these steps:

  1. Add the dataset file to the data/ directory
  2. From the command line, run python make_registry.py script to update the registry file residing in open_radar_data/registry.txt
  3. Commit and push your changes to GitHub

Using datasets in notebooks and/or scripts

  • Ensure the open_radar_data package is installed in your environment

    python -m pip install open-radar-data
    
    # or
    
    python -m pip install git+https://github.com/openradar/open-radar-data
    
    # or
    
    conda install -c conda-forge open-radar-data
    
  • Import DATASETS and inspect the registry to find out which datasets are available

    In [1]: from open_radar_data import DATASETS
    
    In [2]: DATASETS.registry_files
    Out[2]: ['sample_sgp_data.nc`]
    
  • To fetch a data file of interest, use the .fetch method and provide the filename of the data file. This will

    • download and cache the file if it doesn't exist already.
    • retrieve and return the local path
    In [4]: filepath = DATASETS.fetch('sample_sgp_data.nc')
    
    In [5]: filepath
    Out[5]: '/Users/mgrover/Library/Caches/open-radar-data/sample_sgp_data.nc'
    
  • Once you have access to the local filepath, you can then use it to load your dataset into pandas or xarray or your package of choice:

    In [6]: radar = pyart.io.read(filepath)
    

Changing the default data cache location

The default cache location (where the data are saved on your local system) is dependent on the operating system. You can use the locate() method to identify it:

from open_radar_data import locate
locate()

The location can be overwritten by the OPEN_RADAR_DATA_DIR environment variable to the desired destination.
