xweights

Python "xweights" contains functions to calculate grid weighted area means from predefined regions or from an user-given shapefile. This tool is a wrapper around the python package xESMF.

• Free software: MIT license
• Documentation: https://xweights.readthedocs.io

Features

• Calculate grid-weighted-means and save the output as CSV file
• As input you need a dataset dictionary. Values are xarray.Datasets and keys correspondin strings.

Installation

Note: Before building xweights from source, you nedd first install cartopy by using conda:

conda install -c conda-forge cartopy

You can install the package directly with pip:

pip install xweights

If you want to contribute, I recommend cloning the repository and installing the package in development mode, e.g.

git clone https://github.com/ludwiglierhammer/xweights.git
cd xweights
pip install -e .

In additon you have to install xESMF using _Conda:

conda install -c conda-forge xesmf

This will install the package but you can still edit it and you don't need the package in your PYTHONPATH

Requirements

• python3.6 or higher
• numpy
• pandas
• geopandas
• xarray
• py-cordex
• xesmf
