@truth-quark yes this is the best place to work on new requirements:
The user will want to specify:
Possibly you want to break this up to extraction step and then analysis step?
@ivanhanigan do you know if using command line tools (e.g. ncks
) is considered user friendly enough for the target data users?
The user will want to specify:
- place(s) e.g.. ACT, Tasmania etc
- times e.g. 2019-2020
- flags to use e.g. "smoke_2SD","active_fires_50000","dust_merra_2_p95"
The ncks
tool contains a hyperslabbing
cmd line option to subset multiple dimensions in a single command. From the user guide, subsets of cell coords & times can be specified, as well as selecting which variables to extract.
I didn't see an option to specify a bounding box to clip. If a user has some known bounds, these could be converted to pixel coords & hyperslab to the area of interest. It wasn't clear in the user guide, but it may be possible to specify coordinate system bounds with some cmd line options.
Requirements
Idea is to demonstrate Python can interoperate with the 20 variable NetCDF file.
Solution Options:
ncks
have functionality to extract required data subsets?
