Installation

pip install climweb-wdqms

Add to install apps

installed_apps = [
  ...
  climweb_wdqms
]

Usage

python manage.py wdqms_stats -var pressure

To retrieve data, arguements include:

Mandatory

• -var or --variable (Choose one. Accepted variables are e.g pressure,temperature, humidity, meridional_wind, zonal_wind)

Optional

• -s or --start_date (Start date of transmission. format YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to 2023-01-01 if no data found, or uses the latest date for the specified variable)
• -e or --end_date (End date of transmission. format YYYY-MM-DD. Defaults to the last avaiable date on wdqms)
• -c or --centers (List of monitoring centers e.g DWD, ECMWF, JMA, NCEP. Defaults to all centers)
• -p or --periods (List of synoptic hours e.g 00, 06, 12, 18. Defaults to all periods)
