About

Database access and tools for using the SnowEx database. This tool is simply a client for accessing the database using python

WARNING - This is under active development in preparation for SnowEx Hackweek. Use at your own risk. Data will change as it is QA/QC’d and the end goal is for all data in this database to be pulled from NSIDC. The goal is for this to become a community database open to all.

Features

  • Database access for SnowEx Database

  • Analysis tools

  • Useful conversions to pandas and geopandas

  • Lots of examples

Installing

If you are just planning on using the database, then only install the python package instructions below.

I just want to use it

Install using pip:

pip install snowexsql

I want data fast

A programmatic API has been created for fast and standard access to Point and Layer data. There are two examples covering the features and usage of the api. See the specific api documentation for detailed description.

from snowexsql.api import PointMeasurements, LayerMeasurements
# The main functions we will use are `from_area` and `from_filter` like this
df = PointMeasurements.from_filter(
    date=date(2020, 5, 28), instrument='camera'
)
print(df.head())
