pysat: Python Satellite Data Analysis Toolkit
The Python Satellite Data Analysis Toolkit (pysat) provides a simple and
flexible interface for robust data analysis from beginning to end - including
downloading, loading, cleaning, managing, processing, and analyzing data.
Pysat's plug-in design allows analysis support for any data, including user
provided data sets. The pysat team provides a variety of plug-ins to support
public scientific data sets in packages such as pysatNASA, pysatMadrigal, and
more, available as part of the general pysat ecosystem.

Main Features
Instrument independent analysis routines.
Instrument object providing an interface for downloading and analyzing a wide
variety of science data sets.
Uses pandas or xarray for the underlying data structure;
capable of handling the many forms scientific measurements take in a
consistent manner.
Standard scientific data handling tasks (e.g., identifying, downloading,
and loading files and cleaning and modifying data) are built into the
Instrument object.
Supports metadata consistent with the netCDF CF-1.6 standard. Each variable
has a name, long name, and units. Note units are informational only.
Simplifies data management
Iterator support for loading data by day/file/orbit, independent of data
storage details.
Orbits are calculated on the fly from loaded data and span day breaks.
Iterate over custom seasons
Supports rigorous time-series calculations that require spin up/down time
across day, orbit, and file breaks.
Includes helper functions to reduce the barrier in adding new science
instruments to pysat
Installation
The following instructions provide a guide for installing pysat and give some
examples on how to use the routines.
Prerequisites
pysat uses common Python modules, as well as modules developed by and for the
Space Physics community. This module officially supports Python 3.X+.
Common modules
Community modules
dask
netCDF4
numpy >= 1.12
pandas
portalocker
pytest
scipy
toolz
xarray
PyPi Installation
pip install pysat
GitHub Installation
git clone https://github.com/pysat/pysat.git
Change directories into the repository folder and run the pyproject.toml or
setup.py file. For a local install use the "--user" flag after "install".
cd pysat/
python -m build .
pip install .
Using pysat
The first time pysat is run, you will need to specify a directory to store
the data. In Python, run:
pysat.params['data_dirs'] = 'path/to/directory/that/may/or/may/not/exist'
Nominal organization of data is top_dir/platform/name/tag/inst_id/files
Detailed examples and tutorials for using pysat are available in the
documentation.
