permamodel / cmip

permamodel

Permamodel is a collection of numerical permafrost models. This repository contains source code and examples for two models:

• Frost number
• Ku

For more information, see the project home page: https://permamodel.github.io.

Installation

Permamodel can be installed with pip:

$ pip install permamodel

or with conda:

$ conda install -c conda-forge permamodel

We recommend installing permamodel into a Python virtual environment.

cmip's Issues

Add model to CSDMS Model Repository

Two tasks:

• Fill out questionnaire: http://csdms.colorado.edu/wiki/Contribute_model
• Update url attribute of info.yaml in BMI metadata

Get filenames for data with absolute paths

By default, the get_current_ncdata_filename method returns the relative path of a netCDF file in the package's data directory. It should instead return the absolute filepath; else, the file may not be found.

Example

The location of the installed package:

>>> import cmip
>>> cmip.__file__
'/home/csdms/wmt/_testing/conda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bmi_cmip-0.1.0-py2.7.egg/cmip/__init__.pyc'

From some working directory, make an instance of the BMI-wrapped model:

>>> from cmip.bmi_cmip import BmiCMIPComponentMethod
>>> x = BmiCMIPComponentMethod()

Get the path to the sample config file:

>>> import os
>>> from cmip.tests import examples_directory
>>> cfg_file = os.path.join(examples_directory, 'sample_cmip.cfg')

Try to initialize the model:

>>> x.initialize(cfg_file)
***
print(self._temperature_nc_filename)
/data/SiB_PCF85/SiB_PCF85_data.t12.1902.nc
***

IOError: No such file or directory

Grid locations should be specified by latitude and longitude

When coupling this component with other components, the values from this model are associated with actual locations on the Earth. A general and grid-independent way to reference locations is latitude and longitude, so there should be a way to associate the grid cells with the latitude and longitude of the locations for which they have data.
