umepio 0.1.1

This package can automatically generate the necessary input files for running the UMEP SOLWEIG solver

Generating UMEP inputs

The umepio package automatically generates the neccesary input data for running UMEP solver SOLWEIG in the Netherlands. It needs to be given a bounding box and an output folder and generates the files needed to run SOLWEIG_GPU.

Generate all the files at once.

    import umepio
    bbox = (94040,437614,94251,437797) #bounding box in Amersfoort / RD new
    inputs = umepio.generate_solweig_inputs(bbox, "test_output")

Generate some of the files as needed.

    # bounding box, path to output folder
    buildings = umepio.load_buildings(bbox, "test_output")

    # bounding box, buildings, path to output folder
    dtm, dsm, _ = umepio.load_dems(bbox, buildings, "test_output")

    # bounding box, dtm, dsm, trunk height, path to output folder
    chm = umepio.load_chm(bbox, dtm, dsm, 25, "test_output")

    # bounding box, path to output folder
    landcover = umepio.load_landcover(bbox, "output_folder")

The repository builds on the work done by Jessica Monahan, SOLFD (2025). The logic is the same but the code is reformatted and polished to work as a standalone pip package.
