Equal Area Sea Ice Grids - A small python tool wrapping pyresample and pyproj functionality for commonly used spatial grids for sea ice remote sensing.
The purpose of easi_grid is to generate geospatial grids in a reproducible way.
The implementation is driven by the specific needs of the
pysiral project and errors might occur
for more general geospatial grid applications. This
project is optimized for:
- polar projections with roughly equal area grids (Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area or Polar Stereographic)
- isotropic resolution
- Extent in x and y direction is a multiple of the spatial resolution
Integration into the Python Package Index (PyPi) is currenlty not on the agenda.
The easi_grid package should therefore be installed directly from git
pip install git+https://github.com/pysiral/easi_grid
or with full developer packages:
pip install git+https://github.com/pysiral/easi_grid[dev,tests]
See the folder with example notebooks for a tutorial of the functionality.
