diive is currently under active developement with frequent updates.

Time series data processing

diive is a Python library for time series processing, in particular ecosystem data. Originally developed by the ETH Grassland Sciences group for Swiss FluxNet.

Corrections

• Offset correction for measurement: correct measurement by offset in comparison to replicate (notebook example)

• Offset correction relative humidity: correct RH values > 100%
• Offset correction wind direction: correct wind directions by offset, calculated based on reference time period (notebook example)
• Set to threshold: set values above or below a threshold value to threshold value

Create variable

Functions to create various variables.

• Time since: calculate time since last occurrence, e.g. since last precipitation (notebook example)
• Daytime/nighttime flag: calculate daytime flag, nighttime flag and potential radiation from latitude and longitude (notebook example)
• Vapor pressure deficit: calculate VPD from air temperature and RH (notebook example)

Eddy covariance high-resolution

• Flux detection limit: calculate flux detection limit from high-resolution data (20 Hz)
• Maximum covariance: find maximum covariance between turbulent wind and scalar
• Turbulence: wind rotation to calculate turbulent departures of wind components and scalar (e.g. CO2)

Files

Input/output functions.

• Detect files: detect expected and unexpected (irregular) files in a list of files
• Split files: split multiple files into smaller parts and export them as (compressed) CSV files
• Read single data files: read file using parameters (notebook example)
• Read single data files: read file using pre-defined filetypes (notebook example)
• Read multiple data files: read files using pre-defined filetype (notebook example)

Fits

• Bin fitter: (notebook example)

Flux

Specific analyses of eddy covariance flux data.

• USTAR threshold scenarios: display data availability under different USTAR threshold scenarios

Flux processing chain

Post-processing of eddy covariance flux data. For info about the Swiss FluxNet flux levels, see here.

• Flux processing chain (notebook example)
  • The notebook example shows the application of:
    • Level-2 quality flags
    • Level-3.1 storage correction
    • Level-3.2 outlier removal
    • Level-3.3: USTAR filtering using constant thresholds
    • Level-4.1: gap-filling using long-term random forest
• Quick flux processing chain (notebook example)

Formats

Format data to specific formats.

• Format: convert EddyPro fluxnet output files for upload to FLUXNET database (notebook example)
• Parquet files: load and save parquet files (notebook example)

Gap-filling

Fill gaps in time series with various methods.

• XGBoostTS (notebook example (minimal), notebook example (more extensive))
• RandomForestTS (notebook example)
• Long-term gap-filling using RandomForestTS (notebook example)
• Linear interpolation (notebook example)
• Quick random forest gap-filling (notebook example)
• MDS gap-filling of ecosystem fluxes (notebook example), approach by Reichstein et al., 2005

Outlier Detection

Multiple tests combined

• Step-wise outlier detection: combine multiple outlier flags to one single overall flag

Single tests

Create single outlier flags where 0=OK and 2=outlier.

• Absolute limits: define absolute limits (notebook example)
• Absolute limits daytime/nighttime: define absolute limits separately for daytime and nighttime data (notebook example)
• Hampel filter: based on Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) in a moving window (notebook example)
• Hampel filter daytime/nighttime, separately for daytime and nighttime data (notebook example)
• Local standard deviation: Identify outliers based on the local standard deviation from a running median (notebook example)
• Local outlier factor: Identify outliers based on local outlier factor, across all data (notebook example)
• Local outlier factor daytime/nighttime: Identify outliers based on local outlier factor, daytime nighttime separately (notebook example)
• Manual removal: Remove time periods (from-to) or single records from time series (notebook example)
• Missing values: Simply creates a flag that indicated available and missing data in a time series (notebook example)
• Trimming: Remove values below threshold and remove an equal amount of records from high end of data (notebook example)
• z-score: Identify outliers based on the z-score across all time series data (notebook example)
• z-score increments daytime/nighttime: Identify outliers based on the z-score of double increments (notebook example)
• z-score daytime/nighttime: Identify outliers based on the z-score, separately for daytime and nighttime (notebook example)
• z-score rolling: Identify outliers based on the rolling z-score (notebook example)

Plotting

Installation

diive is currently under active developement using Python 3.9.7, but newer (and many older) versions should also work.

Using pip

pip install diive

Using poetry

poetry add diive

Using conda

conda intall -c conda-forge diive

From source

Directly use .tar.gz file of the desired version.

pip install https://github.com/holukas/diive/archive/refs/tags/v0.76.2.tar.gz

Create and use a conda environment for diive

One way to install and use diive with a specific Python version on a local machine:

• Install miniconda
• Start miniconda prompt
• Create a environment named diive-env that contains Python 3.11: conda create --name diive-env python=3.11
• Activate the new environment: conda activate diive-env
• Install diive using pip: pip install diive
• To start JupyterLab type jupyter lab in the prompt
