ARCHER

Automated Rotational Center Hurricane Eye Retrieval

Notes

  1. This package works with the standard Anaconda Python3 distribution, with one exception: it also needs the pyproj module. One way to add this module is
conda install pyproj
  1. The script demo.py has numerous examples for testing the algorithm on a variety of input data. Follow the comments at the beginning of the script to modify this file to initiate tests from various inputs from the data/ subdirectory. By default, demo.py tests nothing, so you'll need to edit it to do anything.

  2. The file archer/archer.py contains the long header that lays out all the components of input and output. It also contains the rules of proper usage. As user-friendly as I try to make this, there are a lot of behaviors of center-fixing (parallax, image format, algorithm dependencies on radiation type) that one needs to be in control of in order to get the expected answer.

  3. This package is in beta mode. I am open to requests, including:

    a. Better error-trapping and elegant exiting from improper/incomplete data inputs

    b. Better/different status messages during execution, or messages that follow a GeoIPS standard

    c. Capabilities to input other data sources not included (yet) in demo.py
