pycontrails.GeoVectorDataset

class pycontrails.GeoVectorDataset(data=None, *, longitude=None, latitude=None, altitude=None, altitude_ft=None, level=None, time=None, attrs=None, copy=True, **attrs_kwargs)

Bases: VectorDataset

Base class to hold 1D geospatial arrays of consistent size.

GeoVectorDataset is required to have geospatial coordinate keys defined in required_keys.

Expect latitude-longitude CRS in WGS 84. Expect altitude in [\(m\)]. Expect level in [\(hPa\)].

Each spatial variable is expected to have “float32” or “float64” dtype. The time variable is expected to have “datetime64[ns]” dtype.

Parameters:
  • data (dict[str, npt.ArrayLike] | pd.DataFrame | VectorDataDict | VectorDataset | None, optional) – Data dictionary or pandas.DataFrame . Must include keys/columns time, latitude, longitude, altitude or level. Keyword arguments for time, latitude, longitude, altitude or level override data inputs. Expects altitude in meters and time as a DatetimeLike (or array that can processed with pd.to_datetime()). Additional waypoint-specific data can be included as additional keys/columns.

  • longitude (npt.ArrayLike, optional) – Longitude data. Defaults to None.

  • latitude (npt.ArrayLike, optional) – Latitude data. Defaults to None.

  • altitude (npt.ArrayLike, optional) – Altitude data, [\(m\)]. Defaults to None.

  • altitude_ft (npt.ArrayLike, optional) – Altitude data, [\(ft\)]. Defaults to None.

  • level (npt.ArrayLike, optional) – Level data, [\(hPa\)]. Defaults to None.

  • time (npt.ArrayLike, optional) – Time data. Expects an array of DatetimeLike values, or array that can processed with pd.to_datetime(). Defaults to None.

  • attrs (dict[Hashable, Any] | AttrDict, optional) – Additional properties as a dictionary. Defaults to {}.

  • copy (bool, optional) – Copy data on class creation. Defaults to True.

  • **attrs_kwargs (Any) – Additional properties passed as keyword arguments.

Raises:

KeyError – Raises if data input does not contain at least time, latitude, longitude, (altitude or level).
