CFA Classes

Reference implementation of CFA (Climate Forecast Aggregation) Conventions in Python 3 (3.9+).

Installation

There is now a setup.py which will compile and install the required CFA-C library. This superceeds any previous installation instructions. The user is no longer required to compile the CFA-C library themselves.

1. Create a virtual environment (can name it anything)

    python3 -m venv CFA-python-venv
   

2. Activate the virtual environment:

    source CFA-python-venv/bin/activate
   

3. Install the netCDF4-python library

    pip install netCDF4
   

4. Clone the CFA-Python repository:

    git clone https://github.com/cedadev/CFA-Python.git
   

5. Go into the clone and install

    cd CFA-Python
    pip install ./
   

6. Run the example in "save" mode to create a file

    python tests/examples/example1a.py S
   

7. Run the example in "load" mode to load and view the file

    python tests/examples/example1a.py L
   

8. The file is created at:

    examples/test/example1a.nc
