sondera
Overview
sondera is a python package providing clients for accessing Swedish hydrology and meteorology related open data and observations. Data sources currently include SMHI open data API and SGU groundwater API.
Development Status: Pre-Alpha. Consider the API unstable, it may change at short or no notice.
Data sources and licenses
It is the end users responsibility to adhere to the license of each respective data provider. See the links to the licenses below.
The following clients are currently implemented or under implementation:
Observations
- SMHI Open Data Meteorological Observations (license, host link)
- SMHI Open Data Hydrological Observations (license, host link)
- SGU Groundwater level time series (license, host link)
Model products
Requirements and installation
Requirements:
numpy
pandas
geopandas
requests
tqdm
Install from pypi using pip
pip install sondera
General description and example usage
Observational data which is linked to a station is returned as a DataSeries object, which contains metadata information in addition to the observed data series.
Modelling products are returned as the data series only, which is either a pandas Series or DataFrame, or xarray for multi-dimensional data.
# Example getting hourly air temperature for the latest months from
# SMHI station Stockholm-Observatoriekullen A (number 98230)
from sondera.clients.smhi import MetObsClient, ParametersMetObs
client = MetObsClient()
# For the parameter we can pass either the ParametersMetObs enum
# or simply the SMHI integer id (which is 1 for hourly air temperature)
air_temp = client.get_observations(parameter=ParametersMetObs.TemperatureAirHour,
station=98230,
period='latest-months')
# observations are stored under "data" attribute as a pandas.Series
