Image-Processing based Atmospheric River Tracking (IPART) algorithms

Dependencies

  • Python2.7 or Python3.7.
  • netCDF4 (tested 1.4.2, 1.5.3 in py2, tested 1.5.3 in py3)
  • numpy (developed in 1.16.5 in py2, tested 1.18.1, 1.19.0 in py3)
  • scipy (developed in 1.2.1 in py2, tested 1.4.1, 1.5.1 in py3)
  • matplotlib (2.2.3 for both py2 and py3, having issues with 3.1.3)
  • basemap (developed in 1.2.0, 1.3.0 in py2, tested 1.2.0 in py3)
  • pandas (developed in 0.23.4, 0.24.2 in py2, tested 1.0.3, 1.0.5 in py3)
  • networkx (developed in 1.11 and 2.2 in py2, tested 2.4 in py3)
  • scikit-image (developed in 0.14.2, 0.14.3 in py2, tested 0.16.2, 0.17.2 in py3)
  • OS: Linux or Mac, may work in Windows.

Installation

Recommend building the Python environment using Anaconda.

Create conda env using environment file

After Anaconda installation, git clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/ihesp/IPART

Then build a new conda environment using the environment file provided. For example:

cd IPART
conda env create -f environment_py3.yml

This creates a new environment named ipartpy3. Activate the environment using

conda activate ipartpy3

After that, you can check the list of packages installed by

conda list

Similarly for Python 2.7, use

conda env create -f environment_py2.yml

Finally install IPART using:

pip install -e .

tests

To validate installation, issue a new Python session and run

import ipart

If nothing prints out, installation is successful.

The tests folder also contains a number of unittests, to run them:

python -m unittest discover -s tests

Documentation

Further documentation can be found at https://ipart.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Example use case

fig3
(a) The IVT field in kg/m/s at 1984-01-26 00:00 UTC over the North Hemisphere. (b) the IVT reconstruction field (IVT_rec) at the same time point. (c) the IVT anomaly field (IVT_ano) from the THR process at the same time point.
Locations of a track labelled "198424" found in year 1984. Black to yellow color scheme indicates the evolution.

Inventory

  • docs: readthedocs documentation.
  • ipart: core module functions.
  • notebooks: a series of jupyter notebooks illustrating the major functionalities of the package.
  • scripts: example computation scripts. Can be used as templates to quickly develop your own working scripts.

Changelog

v3.0

Make algorithms zonally cyclic.

v2.0

  • restructure into a module ipart, separate module from scripts.
  • add a findARsGen() generator function to yield results at each time point separately.

v1.0

  • initial upload. Can perform AR detection and tracing through time.
