# Meteora

Pythonic interface to access data from meteorological stations. Key features:

- easily stream data [from multiple providers (e.g., Automated Surface/Weather Observing Systems (ASOS/AWOS), MetOffice...)](https://meteora.readthedocs.io/en/latest/supported-providers.html) into pandas data frames.
- user-friendly arguments to filter data by region, variables or date ranges.
- request caching with [requests-cache](https://github.com/requests-cache/requests-cache) to avoid re-downloading data and help bypassing API limits.

## Overview

Meteora provides a set of provider-specific clients to get observations from meteorological stations. For instance, it can be used to stream [the one-minute ASOS data](https://madis.ncep.noaa.gov/madis_OMO.shtml) from the [Iowa Environmental Mesonet](https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/request/asos/1min.phtml) into a pandas data frame:

```python
from meteora.clients import ASOSOneMinIEMClient

region = "Oregon"
variables = ["temperature", "pressure", "precipitation", "surface_wind_speed"]
start = "2021-08-13"
end = "2021-08-16"

client = ASOSOneMinIEMClient(region=region)
ts_df = client.get_ts_df(variables, start=start, end=end)
ts_df.head()
```

We can also get the station locations using the `stations_gdf` property:

```python
import contextily as cx

ax = client.stations_gdf.plot()
cx.add_basemap(ax, crs=client.stations_gdf.crs)
```

See [the user guide](https://meteora.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user-guide.html) for more details about the features of Meteora as well as the [list of supported providers](https://meteora.readthedocs.io/en/latest/supported-providers.html).

## Installation

The easiest way to install Meteora is with conda/mamba:

```bash
conda install -c conda-forge meteora
```

Alternatively, if [geopandas dependencies are installed correctly](https://geopandas.org/en/latest/getting_started/install.html), you can install Meteora using pip:

```bash
pip install meteora
```

## See also

Meteora intends to provide a unified way to access data from meteorological stations from multiple providers. The following libraries provide access to data from a specific provider:

- [martibosch/agrometeo-geopy](https://github.com/martibosch/agrometeo-geopy)
- [martibosch/netatmo-geopy](https://github.com/martibosch/netatmo-geopy)

Eventually these packages will be fully integrated into Meteora.
