ESA CCI Toolbox

The ESA CCI Toolbox is designed to provide access to CCI data from the ESA Open Data Portal. Also, it contains functions to operate on this data.

Installation into a new environment with conda

The ESA CCI Toolbox and all necessary dependencies are available on conda-forge, and can be installed using the conda package manager. The conda package manager itself can be obtained in the miniconda distribution. Once conda is installed, the ESA CCI Toolbox can be installed like this:

$ conda create --name ect --channel conda-forge esa-climate-toolbox
$ conda activate ect

The name of the environment may be freely chosen.

Installation into an existing environment with conda

The ESA CCI Toolbox can also be installed into an existing conda environment. To do so, execute this command with the existing environment activated:

$ conda install --channel conda-forge esa-climate-toolbox

Any necessary dependencies will be installed or updated if they are not already installed in a compatible version.

Installation into an existing environment from the repository

If you want to install the ESA CCI Toolbox directly from the git repository (for example in order to use an unreleased version or to modify the code), you can do so as follows:

$ git clone https://github.com/esa-cci/esa-climate-toolbox.git
$ cd esa-climate-toolbox
$ conda env create
$ conda activate ect
$ pip install -e .

Testing

You can run the unit tests for the ESA CCI Toolbox by executing

$ pytest

in the esa-climate-toolbox repository.

To create a test coverage report, you can use

coverage run --include='esa-climate-toolbox/**' --module pytest
coverage html

This will write a coverage report to htmlcov/index.html.

Use

Jupyter notebooks demonstrating the use of the ESA CCI Toolbox can be found in the notebooks/ subdirectory of the repository.
