A Python 3 module for processing data from various (mostly in situ) precipitation instruments including Particle Imaging Package (PIP) and Pluvio^2 -pluviometers.

baecc requires numpy, scipy, pandas, tstables, pytmatrix, netCDF4 and seaborn

It is recommended to install the module in a virtual python3 environment (e.g. using anaconda). To install the module, enter your virtual environment and run

python setup.py install

There are some example scripts in the scripts directory.

You need PIP and pluviometer data either in raw ASCII or HDF5 (recommended) format. Parts of the code can also utilize radar data with pytmatrix. You can convert your data to a HDF5 database using read.batch_create_hdf.

Data is selected using csv case configuration files. Minimum requirement for the configuration file is a header line with columns start and end, and at least one row (case) with corresponding datetime strings as shown here:

start,end
2014 21 February 21 UTC,2014 21 February 23 UTC

You can use different date formatting and specify a corresponding format string when initializing EventsCollection object.
