1 year ago Adam today I was looking at the wtk inputs and I think we should have a function to format the inputs for the user.
E.g. the inputs currently;
wtk_inputs = {'time_interval':'1-hour',
'wind_parameters':['windspeed_10m','winddirection_10m'],
'temp_parameters':['temperature_2m','temperature_20m',
'temperature_40m','temperature_60m',
'temperature_80m','temperature_100m',
'temperature_120m','temperature_140m',
'temperature_160m'],
'year':[2018],
'lat_lon':(40.748, -124.527)}I think a quick function that returned the formatted list for wind direction and temperature should be included in the WIND toolkit. Something like:
wind_parameters = wind_toolkit.wind_parameters(windspeed=[10], winddirection=[10])
temp_parameters = wind_toolkit.temp_parameters([2,20,40,60,80,100,120,140,160])
wtk_inputs = {'time_interval':'1-hour',
'wind_parameters': wind_parameters ,
'temp_parameters': temp_parameters ,
'year':[2018],
'lat_lon':(40.748, -124.527)}Alternatively, we could just have the inputs converted on the backend allowing the user to input more human-readable/ intuitive inputs like:
wtk_inputs = {'time_interval':'1-hour',
'wind_parameters':[(10,10)],
'temp_parameters':[2, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160],
'year':[2018],
'lat_lon':(40.748, -124.527)}Where the wind parameter speed and direction have been treated as a tuple and the temp parameters as a list. I don't expect either of the above to be the perfect solution but they are suggestions I was thinking of to make using the tool easier. What do you think?

@rpauly18 @ssolson This PR builds on a metocean module discussed in #167 by adding the IO capability for WIND Toolkit data, including vertical profiles of:
as well as surface values of
@Alex-McVey and I have not heard from Senu about desired metocean variables yet. However I have been working to build out IO functionality to pull in offshore WIND Toolkit data. This is going well so far as it is similar to the WPTO hindcast module. A new metocean example and tests for this module are in progress.
