ARTist

python library for post-processing and plotting ICON-ART output.

Aerosol and Reactive Trace gases (ART), as a submodule of ICON, supplements the model by including emissions, transport, gas phase chemistry, and aerosol dynamics in the troposphere and stratosphere. ART is being developed and maintained at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Germany.

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install ARTist

or

pip install git+https://github.com/pankajkarman/ARTist.git

Dependencies

1. Plotting requires cartopy.

2. This library is an extension of xarray for analysing ICON-ART output.

Documentation

Latest documentation is available here.

Usage

ARTist is easy to use. Just import using:

import xarray as xr
import artist

And get going.

ds = xr.open_dataset(filename)
da = ds['ash_mixed_acc']

Plot using native traingular grids:

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(12, 6))
da.icon.tri_plot(gridfile, ax)

Regrid to Rectangular Grids and plot:

dz = da.icon.regrid(g, lon_vec, lat_vec, method='linear')
dz.plot()
