pycontrails.models.cocipgrid.CocipGrid

class pycontrails.models.cocipgrid.CocipGrid(met, rad, params=None, **params_kwargs)

Bases: Model

Run CoCiP simulation on a grid.

See eval() for a description of model evaluation source parameters.

Parameters:

• met, rad (MetDataset) – CoCiP-specific met data to interpolate against

• params (dict[str, Any], optional) – Override CocipGridParams defaults. Most notably, the model is highly dependent on the parameter dt_integration. Memory usage is also affected by parameters met_slice_dt and target_split_size.

• param_kwargs (Any) – Override CocipGridParams defaults with arbitrary keyword arguments.

Notes

• If rad contains accumulated radiative fluxes, differencing to obtain time-averaged fluxes will reduce the time coverage of rad by half a forecast step. A warning will be produced during eval() if the time coverage of rad (after differencing) is too short given the model evaluation parameters. If this occurs, provide an additional step of radiation data at the start or end of rad.

static create_source(level, time, longitude=None, latitude=None, lon_step=1.0, lat_step=1.0)

Shortcut to create a MetDataset source from coordinate arrays.

Parameters:

• level (level: npt.NDArray[np.float64] | list[float] | float) – Pressure levels for gridded cocip. To avoid interpolating outside of the passed met and rad data, this parameter should avoid the extreme values of the met and rad levels. If met is already defined, a good choice for level is met.data['level'].values[1: -1].

• time (npt.NDArray[np.datetime64 | list[np.datetime64] | np.datetime64,) – One or more time values for gridded cocip.

• longitude, latitude (npt.NDArray[np.float64] | list[float], optional) – Longitude and latitude arrays, by default None. If not specified, values of lon_step and lat_step are used to define longitude and latitude. To avoid model degradation at the poles, latitude values are expected to be between -80 and 80 degrees.

• lon_step, lat_step (float, optional) – Longitude and latitude resolution, by default 1.0. Only used if parameter longitude (respective latitude) not specified.

Returns:

MetDataset – MetDataset that can be used as source input to CocipGrid.eval(source=...)()

default_params

alias of CocipGridParams

eval(source=None, **params)

Run CoCiP simulation on a 4d coordinate grid or arbitrary set of 4d points.

If the params verbose_outputs_evolution is True, the model holds contrail_list and contrail attributes for viewing intermediate artifacts. If source data is large, these intermediate vectors may consume substantial memory.

Changed in version 0.25.0: No longer explicitly support Flight as a source. Any flight source will be viewed as a GeoVectorDataset. In order to evaluate CoCiP predictions over a flight trajectory, it is best to use the Cocip model. It’s also possible to pre-compute segment azimuth and true airspeed before passing the flight trajectory in here.

Parameters:

• source (GeoVectorDataset | MetDataset | None) – Input GeoVectorDataset or MetDataset. If None, a NotImplementedError is raised. If any subclass of GeoVectorDataset is passed (e.g., Flight), the additional structure is forgotten and the model is evaluated as if it were a GeoVectorDataset. Additional variables may be passed as source data or attrs. These include:

  • aircraft_type: This overrides any value in params. Must be included in the source attrs (not data).

  • fuel_flow, engine_efficiency, true_airspeed, wingspan, aircraft_mass: These override any value in params.

  • azimuth: This overrides any value in params.

  • segment_length: This overrides any value in params.

• **params (Any) – Overwrite model parameters before eval

Returns:

GeoVectorDataset | MetDataset – CoCiP predictions for each point in source. Output data contains variables contrail_age and ef_per_m. Additional variables specified by the model params verbose_outputs_formation are also included.

Raises:

NotImplementedError – If source is None

Notes

At a high level, the model is broken down into the following steps:

• Convert any MetDataset source to GeoVectorDataset.

• Split the source into chunks of size params["target_split_size"].

• For each timestep in timesteps:

  • Generate any new waypoints from the source data. Calculate aircraft performance and run the CoCiP downwash routine over the new waypoints.

  • For each “active” contrail (i.e., a contrail that has been initialized but has not yet reach its end of life), evolve the contrail forward one step. Filter any waypoint that has reached its end of life.

• Aggregate contrail age and energy forcing predictions to a single output variable to return.
