Pitch

Explore powerful integrations with GribStream through this Python client library, offering access to key weather datasets like NBM, GFS, and RAP. Ideal for developers needing data for SkewT LogP charts and more.

Description

The Python Client for GribStream is a robust library designed to interface seamlessly with GribStream, enabling efficient access to diverse meteorological datasets. This client facilitates leveraging datasets such as The National Blend of Models (NBM), The Global Forecast System (GFS), and The Rapid Refresh (RAP). GFS and RAP datasets are particularly well-suited for generating SkewT LogP charts.

Key Features

Utilize Cutting-Edge Datasets: Access and harness high-quality forecasts through NBM, GFS, and RAP for comprehensive weather analysis.
Forecast Capabilities: Easily query weather forecasts over a specified time range and for multiple parameters and geographical coordinates.
Historical Data Retrieval: Retrieve historical weather data, providing a complete overview of atmospheric conditions over time.

Example Usage

Below is an example showcasing how to utilize the GribStreamClient to query forecasts and historical data:

from client import GribStreamClient
import datetime

with GribStreamClient(apikey=None) as client:  # Using DEMO API token
    
    # Query NBM weather forecasts
    print("Query all NBM weather forecasts for three parameters, over a three hour range, ten hours out, for three coordinates")
    start = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC)
    df = client.forecasts(
        dataset='nbm',
        forecasted_from=datetime.datetime(year=2024, month=8, day=10, hour=0),
        forecasted_until=datetime.datetime(year=2024, month=8, day=10, hour=3),
        coordinates=[
            {"lat": 40.75, "lon": -73.98},
            {"lat": 29.75, "lon": -95.36},
            {"lat": 47.60, "lon": -122.33},
        ],
        variables=[
            {"name": "TMP", "level": "2 m above ground", "info": ""},
            {"name": "WIND", "level": "10 m above ground", "info": ""},
            {"name": "DPT", "level": "2 m above ground", "info": ""},
        ],
        min_horizon=1,
        max_horizon=10,
    )
    print(df.sort_values(['forecasted_time', 'lat', 'lon']).head(20).to_string(index=False))
    print('response in:', datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC) - start)

    # Query GFS historical data
    print("Query the best GFS historical data for two parameters, for a three day range, for three coordinates, as of the end of the second day")
    start = datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC)
    df = client.history(
        dataset='gfs',
        from_time=datetime.datetime(year=2022, month=8, day=10, hour=0),
        until_time=datetime.datetime(year=2022, month=8, day=13, hour=0),
        coordinates=[
            {"lat": 40.75, "lon": -73.98},
            {"lat": 29.75, "lon": -95.36},
            {"lat": 47.60, "lon": -122.33},
        ],
        variables=[
            {"name": "TMP", "level": "2 m above ground", "info": ""},
            {"name": "TMP", "level": "surface", "info": ""},
        ],
        as_of=datetime.datetime(year=2024, month=8, day=12, hour=0),
        min_horizon=0,
        max_horizon=264,
    )
    print(df.sort_values(['forecasted_time', 'lat', 'lon']).head(20).to_string(index=False))
    print('response in:', datetime.datetime.now(datetime.UTC) - start)

    print("done")
