Vinveli - Space, Vaanilai - Weather (in Tamil)

This project collects space weather data from ftp.swpc.noaa.gov for your use

Currently the project supports the following indices for a complete year/quarter:

• DGD (Daily Geomagnetic Data)
• DSD (Daily Solar Data)
• DPD (Daily Particle Data)

All of the above are daily indices and are accessible at ftp://ftp.swpc.noaa.gov/pub/indices/old_indices/.

The project structure is like so:

|_ vinvelivaanilai
   |_ extractor.py (extracts data from each fetched file)
   |_ file_fetch.py (Fetches files using FTP)

source .venv/bin/activate
pythom -m pip install vinvelivaanilai

To install an editable version of the master branch:

git clone https://gitlab.com/adithyav1511/vinvelivaanilai.git
cd vinvelivaanilai
pip install -e .
