Loading DMSP IVM ================ pysatMadrigal uses `pysat `_ to download, load, and provide an analysis framework for data sets archived at the Madrigal database. As specified in the `pysat tutorial `_, data may be loaded using the following commands. Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Ion Velocity Meter (IVM) data is used as an example. :: import datetime as dt import pysat import pysatMadrigal as py_mad stime = dt.datetime(2012, 5, 14) ivm = pysat.Instrument(inst_module=py_mad.instruments.dmsp_ivm, tag='utd', inst_id='f15', update_files=True) ivm.download(start=stime, user="Name+Surname", password="email@org.inst") ivm.load(date=stime) print(ivm) The output includes a day of data with UTDallas quality flags from the F15 spacecraft (as implied by the `tag` and `inst_id`), for the specified date. At the time of publication this produces the output shown below. :: pysat Instrument object ----------------------- Platform: 'dmsp' Name: 'ivm' Tag: 'utd' Instrument id: 'f15' Data Processing --------------- Cleaning Level: 'clean' Data Padding: None Keyword Arguments Passed to load: {'xarray_coords': [], 'file_type': 'hdf5'} Keyword Arguments Passed to list_remote_files: {'user': None, 'password': None, 'url': 'http://cedar.openmadrigal.org', 'two_digit_year_break': None} Custom Functions: 0 applied Local File Statistics --------------------- Number of files: 1 Date Range: 31 December 2014 --- 1 January 2015 Loaded Data Statistics ---------------------- Date: 31 December 2014 DOY: 365 Time range: 31 December 2014 00:00:04 --- 31 December 2014 23:18:20 Number of Times: 4811 Number of variables: 30 Variable Names: year month day ... rms_x sigma_vy sigma_vz pysat Meta object ----------------- Tracking 7 metadata values Metadata for 30 standard variables Metadata for 0 ND variables
