This project contains code for calculating the expected Green Date (50mm over 3 days in 7 out of 10 years) for regions in Northern Australia.
This software is implemented in Python and designed for handling netCDF files.
Requires daily rainfall data as input. It is recommended to obtain this from LongPaddock's SILO
- Python 3
- Install the packages listed in requirements.txt
Arguments:
--daily_rain | The path of the netCDF data file for daily rain. |
--start_date | Set the start date. Used to restrict the analysis to a certain time period. |
--end_date | Set the end date. Used to restrict the analysis to a certain time period. |
--period | The number of days to calculate the Green Date over. Defaults to 3 days. |
--rain_threshold | The rainfall threshold for Green Date conditions to be considered met. Defaults to 30mm. |
--multiprocessing | Number of processes to use in multiprocessing. Options: single, all_but_one, all. Defaults to all_but_one. |
--title | The title of the map produced. Defaults to no title. |
-v, --verbose | Increase output verbosity. |
Usage: python main.py --daily_rain PATH
