readDiag

To facilitate access to the contents of the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation (GSI) diagnostic files, the readDiag package was developed. It is a Fortran/Python interface designed to read GSI's binary diagnostic files and create appropriate data structures for manipulation.

The following figure was generated using the readDiag package and illustrates the spatial distribution of wind observations from different types and sources. All presented information originates from GSI's diagnostic files.

Use Binder to open an interactive readDiag demonstration session. In this session, choose the notebook readDiag_tutorial_simple-en_us.ipynb. If you have more diagnostic files to check, use the notebook readDiag_tutorial_complete-en_us.ipynb with more advanced examples.
