Common modules	Community modules

xarray

Installation

Currently, the main way to get pysatCDAAC is through github.

git clone https://github.com/pysat/pysatCDAAC.git

Change directories into the repository folder and run the setup.py file. For a local install use the "--user" flag after "install".

cd pysatCDAAC/
pip install .

Note: pre-1.0.0 version

pysatCDAAC is currently in an initial development phase and requires pysat 3.0.0+.

Using with pysat

The instrument modules are portable and designed to be run like any pysat instrument.

import pysat
from pysatCDAAC.instruments import cosmic_gps

cosmic = pysat.Instrument(inst_module=cosmic_gps, tag='ionprf')

Another way to use the instruments in an external repository is to register the instruments. This only needs to be done the first time you load an instrument. Afterward, pysat will identify them using the platform and name keywords.

import pysat

pysat.utils.registry.register(‘pysatCDAAC.instruments.cosmic_gps’)
cosmic = pysat.Instrument('cosmic', 'gps', tag='ionprf')
