argopy is a python library that aims to ease Argo data access, visualisation and manipulation for regular users as well as Argo experts and operators. Documentation is at https://argopy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Several python packages exist: we continuously try to build on these libraries to provide you with a single powerfull tool. List your tool here !

By default, argopy relies on online services to fetch data, you can check web API services status here.

Install

Install the last release with conda:

conda install -c conda-forge argopy

or pip:

pip install argopy

But since this is a young library in active development, use direct install from this repo to benefit from the lastest version:

pip install git+http://github.com/euroargodev/argopy.git@master

The argopy library should work under all OS (Linux, Mac and Windows) and with python versions 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8.

Fetching Argo Data

Init the default data fetcher like:

from argopy import DataFetcher as ArgoDataFetcher
argo_loader = ArgoDataFetcher()

and then, request data for a specific space/time domain:

ds = argo_loader.region([-85,-45,10.,20.,0,10.]).to_xarray()
ds = argo_loader.region([-85,-45,10.,20.,0,1000.,'2012-01','2012-12']).to_xarray()

for profiles of a given float:

ds = argo_loader.profile(6902746, 34).to_xarray()
ds = argo_loader.profile(6902746, np.arange(12,45)).to_xarray()
ds = argo_loader.profile(6902746, [1,12]).to_xarray()

or for one or a collection of floats:

ds = argo_loader.float(6902746).to_xarray()
ds = argo_loader.float([6902746, 6902747, 6902757, 6902766]).to_xarray()

By default fetched data are returned in memory as xarray.DataSet. From there, it is easy to convert it to other formats like a Pandas dataframe:

ds = ArgoDataFetcher().profile(6902746, 34).to_xarray()
df = ds.to_dataframe()

or to export it to files:

ds = argo_loader.region([-85,-45,10.,20.,0,100.]).to_xarray()
ds.to_netcdf('my_selection.nc')
# or by profiles:
ds.argo.point2profile().to_netcdf('my_selection.nc')

Argo Index Fetcher

Index object is returned as a pandas dataframe.

Init the fetcher:

    from argopy import IndexFetcher as ArgoIndexFetcher

    index_loader = ArgoIndexFetcher()
    index_loader = ArgoIndexFetcher(backend='erddap')    
    #Local ftp backend 
    #index_loader = ArgoIndexFetcher(backend='localftp',path_ftp='/path/to/your/argo/ftp/',index_file='ar_index_global_prof.txt')

and then, set the index request index for a domain:

    idx=index_loader.region([-85,-45,10.,20.])
    idx=index_loader.region([-85,-45,10.,20.,'2012-01','2014-12'])

or for a collection of floats:

    idx=index_loader.float(6902746)
    idx=index_loader.float([6902746, 6902747, 6902757, 6902766])   

then you can see you index as a pandas dataframe or a xarray dataset :

    idx.to_dataframe()
    idx.to_xarray()

For plottings methods, you'll need matplotlib, cartopy and seaborn installed (they're not in requirements).
For plotting the map of your query :

    idx.plot('trajectory)    

index_traj

For plotting the distribution of DAC or profiler type of the indexed profiles :

    idx.plot('dac')    
    idx.plot('profiler')`

Development roadmap

Our next big steps:

  1. To provide Bio-geochemical variables

We aim to provide high level helper methods to load Argo data and meta-data from:

  • Ifremer erddap
  • local copy of the GDAC ftp folder
  • Index files (local and online)
  • Argovis
  • Online GDAC ftp
  • any other useful access point to Argo data ?

We also aim to provide tutorial and high level helper methods to visualise and plot Argo data and meta-data:

  • Map with trajectories
  • Waterfall plots
  • T/S diagram
  • etc !
