metobs_toolkit.ModelObstype

class ModelObstype(obstype, model_equivalent_dict={})

Extension of the Obstype class specific for the obstypes of Modeldata.

__init__(obstype, model_equivalent_dict={})

Initiate an Modelobservation type.

A ModelObstype has the same properties as an Obstype but with some extra attributes and methods.

Parameters:

• obsname (str) – The name of the new observation type (i.g. ‘sensible_heat_flux’).

• std_unit (str) – The standard unit for the observation type (i.g. ‘J/m²’)

• obstype_description (str, ptional) – A more detailed description of the obstype (i.g. ‘2m SE inside canopy’). The default is None.

• unit_aliases (dict, optional) – A dictionary containing unit alias names. Keys represent a unit and values are lists with aliases for the units at the keys. The default is {}.

• unit_conversions (dict, optional) –

  A dictionary containing the conversion information to map to the standard units. Here an example of for temperatures (with Celsius as standard unit):

  {‘Kelvin’: [“x - 273.15”], #result is in tlk_std_units ‘Farenheit’ : [“x-32.0”, “x/1.8”]}, # –>execute from left to write = (x-32)/1.8

  The default is {}.

• model_equiv_dict (dict) –

  A dictionary with information of how the observation type is found in modeldata. A example for pressure is:

  {‘ERA5_hourly’: {‘name’: ‘surface_pressure’, ‘units’: ‘pa’,

  ’band_desc’: “Pressure (force per ….

Return type:

None.
