To use the SBW–pyATM code, you will need the following packages and libraries in your local python installation:
- python standard libraries: copy, datetime, warnings, os, sys
- basemap (a.k.a. mpl_toolkits.basemap)
- basemap-data-hires
- gdal (via osgeo)
- iso8601
- matplotlib
- netCDF4
- numpy
- pandas
- pyproj
- scipy.interpolate
- wrf-python (as wrf)
I recommend the Anaconda package installation for python, and then using the conda package manager, but the pip package manager works just as well.
The components of the pyATM software, including their external and inter-dependencies, are described in the pyATM Technical Document (see the docs folder, above).
Details regarding model execution, including the use of HTCondor, are forthcoming.
Details regarding pre-processing operations and post-processing options are forthcoming.
Flowcharts describing the order of operations during a model simulation are included in the pyATM Technical Document (see the docs folder, above).
