pwv

fyodor.pwv(directory, location, P_min, P_max, line_of_sight='zenith', RA=None, Dec=None, plot=False, csv=False)[source]

Compute the precipitable water vapor (PWV) at location at zenith or in direction of line_of_sight.

Parameters
  • directory (str) – Working directory with GOES-R files in it

  • location (str, {"Cerro Paranal", "San Pedro Martir", "Other"} The input "Other" leads to a dialog) – window where the user has to enter the latitude and longitude (in degrees) of the location of interest

  • P_min (float) – Lower pressure level (lower altitude). Range between 1100 and 0.05 (hPa)

  • P_max (float) – Upper pressure level (higher altitude). Range between 1100 and 0.05 (hPa)

  • line_of_sight (str, {"target", "zenith"}) – Either compute line of sight to the target or to the zenith.

  • RA (float) – Right ascension of target (in degrees)

  • Dec (float) – Declination of target (in degrees)

  • plot (bool) – Generate a plot of the PWV at each time.

  • csv (bool) – Generate a csv file of the PWV at each time.

Returns

  • dates (list)

  • PWV (~numpy.ndarray)

  • LVT (~numpy.ndarray)

  • LVM (~numpy.ndarray)
