Grid Levels and Parameters
==========================
`Notebook <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/Unidata/python-awips/blob/master/examples/notebooks/Grid_Levels_and_Parameters.ipynb>`_
Python-AWIPS Tutorial Notebook
--------------
Objectives
==========
- Cover the relevant methods for accessing EDEX and investigating what
data is available.
- This example we look at the “grid” data type and investigate the
Global Forcast System (GFS) model.
- We will talk quite a bit about the **DataAccessLayer** utility, and
its `online
documentation <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#>`__
might be a helpful reference.

--------------
1 Imports
---------
Start by importing the DataAccessLayer package from python-awips:
.. code:: ipython3
from awips.dataaccess import DataAccessLayer
`Top <https://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/Grid_Levels_and_Parameters.html>`__
--------------
2 Connect to EDEX
-----------------
Define a url for your EDEX connection, and then point python-awips at
that EDEX
.. code:: ipython3
# Unidata's cloud EDEX instance is used in this example
edex_url = "edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu"
DataAccessLayer.changeEDEXHost(edex_url)
`Top <https://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/Grid_Levels_and_Parameters.html>`__
--------------
3 Get a List of Supported Data Types
------------------------------------
`DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes>`__
returns a list of supported data types offered by the EDEX server
defined above. The code below shows how to populate, sort, and print out
that list.
.. code:: ipython3
dataTypes = DataAccessLayer.getSupportedDatatypes()
dataTypes.sort()
list(dataTypes)
.. parsed-literal::
['acars',
'airep',
'binlightning',
'bufrmosAVN',

'warning']
`Top <https://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/Grid_Levels_and_Parameters.html>`__
--------------
4 Create a New Data Request and Set the Type
--------------------------------------------
Now create a new data request using
`DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest>`__,
and set the data type using
`request.setDatatype() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/IDataRequest.html#awips.dataaccess.IDataRequest.setDatatype>`__.
Below we create a few different requests with different data types to
show some differences with other methods.
For this example we are going to look at the **grid** data type, which
is where the model data can be found, along with some other datasets
(such as MRMS).
.. code:: ipython3
# Create a request for data type grid
grid_request = DataAccessLayer.newDataRequest()
grid_request.setDatatype("grid")
`Top <https://unidata.github.io/python-awips/examples/generated/Grid_Levels_and_Parameters.html>`__
--------------
5 Get Available Locations
-------------------------
Use the
`DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLocationNames(request) <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLocationNames>`__
method to find out what locations are available for the given dataset.
Typically these will be geographic locations or NWS sites, although in
some instances it will be something else. Take a look at whats
outputted for the grid_request, for example.
.. code:: ipython3
# Grid Locations
grid_locations = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLocationNames(grid_request)
grid_locations.sort()
list(grid_locations)

6 Get Available Parameters
--------------------------
Were setting the “location” (in this case, what model we are interested
in) to specify our request before we look at the available parameters.
Take a look at the available parameters for the data set by using
`DataAccessLayer.getAvailableParameters(request) <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getAvailableParameters>`__
.. code:: ipython3
# Pick a model and set the location for the grid request -- we'll be using the Global Forecast System 20km (GFS20)
grid_request.setLocationNames("GFS20")
grid_params = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableParameters(grid_request)
grid_params.sort()
list(grid_params)

7 Get Available Levels
----------------------
Setting the parameters is just an option, you do not need to filter the
data if you do not wish to. Also, although we are only setting one
parameter in this example, you can set multiple parameters by using an
array:
::
params = ("param1", "param2", "param3"...)
request.setParameters(params)
Set a parameter, from the output above and take a look at what “levels”
are available for the data set youre looking at using
`DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLevels(request) <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLevels>`__.
**Warning**: Not all datasets support levels. If you are trying this
with another dataset and run into an exception (error), its most
likely because levels are not supported for that data type.
.. code:: ipython3
# For grid data we'll use the temperature parameter ("T")
grid_request.setParameters("T")
grid_levels = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableLevels(grid_request)
for lvl in grid_levels:
print(lvl)

8 Get Available Times
---------------------
Take a look at what time options are available for the data youre
looking at using the
`DataAccessLayer.getAvailableTimes() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getAvailableTimes>`__
method:
- **getAvailableTimes(request, True)** will return an object of *run
times* - formatted as ``YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS``
- **getAvailableTimes(request)** will return an object of all times -
formatted as ``YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS (F:ff)``
- **getForecastRun(cycle, times)** will return a DataTime array for a
single forecast cycle.
.. code:: ipython3
# Available grid times
grid_cycles = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableTimes(grid_request, True)
grid_times = DataAccessLayer.getAvailableTimes(grid_request)
## Using -1 in an array will access the last element of the array
## (using -2 will access the second last element, and so on)
grid_fcstRun = DataAccessLayer.getForecastRun(grid_cycles[-1], grid_times)
## print out the time instances
times = []
for fcst in grid_fcstRun:
print(fcst.getRefTime(), ':', fcst.getFcstTime(), 'seconds')

9 Get the Data!
---------------
Now that we have our ``request`` and DataTime ``fcstRun`` arrays ready,
its time to request the data array from EDEX. Depending on what kind of
data were working with, well either use
`DataAccessLayer.getGridData() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getGridData>`__
or
`DataAccessLayer.getGeometryData() <http://unidata.github.io/python-awips/api/DataAccessLayer.html#awips.dataaccess.DataAccessLayer.getGeometryData>`__
**Note**: We have more, detailed notebooks about how analyze and
visualize the data once you have what you want.
.. code:: ipython3
## Grid Data
grid_response = DataAccessLayer.getGridData(grid_request, [grid_fcstRun[-1]])
for grid in grid_response:
grid_data = grid.getRawData()
lons, lats = grid.getLatLonCoords()
print('Time :', grid.getDataTime(), "-", grid.getDataTime().getFcstTime(), 'seconds')
## Take a look at some information in our data
print('Model:', str(grid.getLocationName()))
print('Parm :', str(grid.getParameter()))
print('Unit :', str(grid.getUnit()))
print(grid_data.shape)
.. parsed-literal::
Time : 2021-06-01 12:00:00 - 864000 seconds
Model: GFS20
Parm : T
Unit : K
