PyAPS - Python based Atmospheric Phase Screen estimation
This python 3 module estimates differential phase delay maps due to the stratified atmosphere for correcting radar interferograms. It is rewritten in Python 3 language from PYAPS source code and adapted for ECMWF's ERA-5 corrections.
WARNING: The current version does not work with NARR and MERRA datasets. Contributions are welcomed.
This is research code provided to you "as is" with NO WARRANTIES OF CORRECTNESS. Use at your own risk.
1. Installation
a. Install the released version [recommended]
pyaps3
is available on the conda-forge channel, PyPI and the main archive of the Debian GNU/Linux OS. The released version can be installed via conda
as:
conda install -c conda-forge pyaps3
or via pip
as:
pip install pyaps3
or via apt
(or other package managers) for Debian-derivative OS users, including Ubuntu, as:
apt install python3-pyaps3
b. Install the development version
The development version can be installed via pip
as:
pip install git+https://github.com/insarlab/PyAPS.git
or build from source manually as:
git clone https://github.com/insarlab/PyAPS.git
conda install -c conda-forge --file PyAPS/requirements.txt
python -m pip install -e PyAPS
Test the installation by running:
python PyAPS/tests/test_calc.py
2. Account setup for ERA5
ERA5 data set is redistributed over the Copernicus Climate Data Store (CDS). Registration is required for the data access and downloading.
- Create a new account on the CDS website if you don't own a user account yet.
- Create the local file
$HOME/.cdsapirc
and add the following two lines:
url: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/v2
key: 12345:abcdefghij-134-abcdefgadf-82391b9d3f
where 12345 is your personal user ID (UID), the part behind the colon is your personal API key. More details can be found here. Alternatively, you could edit the model.cfg
file in the package directory, site-packages/pyaps3
if installed via conda, and fill in the [CDS]
section.
-
Make sure that you accept the data license in the Terms of use on ECMWF website.
-
Test the account setup by running:
git clone https://github.com/insarlab/PyAPS.git --depth 1
python PyAPS/tests/test_dload.py
