What is wxee?

wxee <https://github.com/aazuspan/wxee>_ was built to make processing gridded, mesoscale time series data quick and easy by integrating the data catalog and processing power of Google Earth Engine <https://earthengine.google.com/>_ with the flexibility of xarray <https://github.com/pydata/xarray>_, with no complicated setup required. To accomplish this, wxee implements convenient methods for data processing, aggregation, downloading, and ingestion.

wxee <https://github.com/aazuspan/wxee>_ can be found in the Earth Engine Developer Resources <https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/tutorials/community/developer-resources#python>_!

Features

• Time series image collections to xarray, NetCDF, or GeoTIFF in one line of code
• Climatological anomalies, temporal aggregation, and temporal interpolation in Earth Engine
• Parallel processing for fast downloads

To see some of the capabilities of wxee and try it yourself, check out the interactive notebooks here <https://wxee.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html>_!

Install

Pip

.. code-block:: bash

   pip install wxee

Conda

.. code-block:: bash

conda install -c conda-forge wxee

From Source

.. code-block:: bash

   git clone https://github.com/aazuspan/wxee
   cd wxee
   make install


Quickstart
----------

Setup
~~~~~
Once you have access to Google Earth Engine, just import and initialize :code:`ee` and :code:`wxee`.

.. code-block:: python
   
   import ee
   import wxee

   ee.Initialize()


Download Images

Download and conversion methods are extended to :code:ee.Image and :code:ee.ImageCollection using the :code:wx accessor. Just :code:import wxee and use the :code:wx accessor.

xarray ^^^^^^

.. code-block:: python

ee.ImageCollection("IDAHO_EPSCOR/GRIDMET").wx.to_xarray()

NetCDF ^^^^^^

.. code-block:: python

ee.ImageCollection("IDAHO_EPSCOR/GRIDMET").wx.to_xarray(path="data/gridmet.nc")

GeoTIFF ^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: python

ee.ImageCollection("IDAHO_EPSCOR/GRIDMET").wx.to_tif()

Create a Time Series

Additional methods for processing image collections in the time dimension are available through the :code:`TimeSeries` subclass.
A :code:`TimeSeries` can be created from an existing :code:`ee.ImageCollection`...

.. code-block:: python

   col = ee.ImageCollection("IDAHO_EPSCOR/GRIDMET")
   ts = col.wx.to_time_series()

Or instantiated directly just like you would an :code:`ee.ImageCollection`!

.. code-block:: python

   ts = wxee.TimeSeries("IDAHO_EPSCOR/GRIDMET")


Aggregate Daily Data

Many weather datasets are in daily or hourly resolution. These can be aggregated to coarser resolutions using the :code:aggregate_time method of the :code:TimeSeries class.

.. code-block:: python

ts = wxee.TimeSeries("IDAHO_EPSCOR/GRIDMET") monthly_max = ts.aggregate_time(frequency="month", reducer=ee.Reducer.max())

Calculate Climatological Means

Long-term climatological means can be calculated using the :code:`climatology_mean` method of the :code:`TimeSeries` class.

.. code-block:: python

   ts = wxee.TimeSeries("IDAHO_EPSCOR/GRIDMET")
   mean_clim = ts.climatology_mean(frequency="month")
