IMD

class imdlib.core.IMD(data, cat, start_day, end_day, no_days, lat, lon)

Bases: Compute

Class to handle binary (.grd) IMD gridded meteorological data. Currently rain, tmin and tmax variable processing is supported.

Attributes

datanumpy 3D array

Stores information in 3d numpy array. shape is (no_of_days, lon_size, lat_size).

catstr or None

Three possible values. 1. “rain” -> input files are for daily rainfall values 2. “tmin” -> input files are for daily minimum temperature values 3. “tmax” -> input files are for daily maximum tempereature values

start_daystr

starting date in format of <year(4 digit)-month(2 digit)-day(2 digit)> e.g. (‘2018-01-01’)

end_daystr

ending date in format of <year(4 digit)-month(2 digit)-day(2 digit)> e.g. (‘2018-12-31’)

Methods
