Getting Started
What is SCAHpy?
SCAHpy is an open-source Python package developed as a post-processing tool for the atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrological components of the regional Earth System Model covering the Peruvian territory and the Pacific Ocean. This model, named IGP-RESM-COW v1, was implemented by the Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) under the basis of the atmospheric WRF model, the oceanic CROCO model and the coupler OASIS.
Why is SCAHpy?
The Python package SCAHpy was created to address the significant challenge posed by the processing of data generated by the IGP-RESM-COW model. This model, with its atmospheric component based on the WRF model, produces massive amounts of data during simulations, which require considerable time for post-processing. SCAHpy streamlines this process by homogenizing coordinates and dimensions, ensuring compatibility and facilitating data analysis. By simplifying data handling and preparation.
How to use SCAHpy?
SCAHpy can be used as a standalone package, to get more details go to Usage and tutorials.
SCAHpy has been developed and tested using IGP-RESM-COWv1 model outputs. However, it is designed to work with any WRF outputs. We are open to contributions from users!
