This python module interfaces the space weather data available at
<https://celestrak.com/SpaceData/>,
<https://kp.gfz-potsdam.de/en/data>,
and <https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/ow.html>.
It includes the geomagnetic Ap and Kp indices, both the 3h values and
the daily sum/averages.
The data also include the solar f10.7 cm radio fluxes,
the observed values as well as the 1 AU adjusted values,
daily values and the 81-day running means.
See [Data sources](#data-sources) below.

:warning: This package is in **beta** stage, that is, it works for the most part
and the interface should not change (much) in future versions.

Documentation is available at <https://pyspaceweather.readthedocs.io>.

## Install

### Requirements

- `numpy` - required
- `pandas` - required
- `requests` - required for updating the data files
- `pytest`, `pytest-mock` - optional, for testing

### spaceweather

A `pip` package called `spaceweather` is available from the
main package repository, and can be installed with:
```sh
$ pip install spaceweather
```
The latest development version can be installed
with [`pip`](https://pip.pypa.io) directly from github
(see <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#vcs-support>
and <https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#git>):

```sh
$ pip install [-e] git+https://github.com/st-bender/pyspaceweather.git
```

The other option is to use a local clone:

```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/st-bender/pyspaceweather.git
$ cd pyspaceweather
```
and then using `pip` (optionally using `-e`, see
<https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#install-editable>):

```sh
$ pip install [-e] .
```

or using `setup.py`:

```sh
$ python setup.py install
```

Optionally, test the correct function of the module with

```sh
$ py.test [-v]
```

or even including the [doctests](https://docs.python.org/library/doctest.html)
in this document:

```sh
$ py.test [-v] --doctest-glob='*.md'
```

## Usage

The python module itself is named `spaceweather` and is imported as usual
by calling

```python
>>> import spaceweather

```

### Celestrak

The module provides two functions to access the data from
[Celestrak](https://celestrak.com/SpaceData/),
`sw_daily()` for the daily data
as available from the website, and `ap_kp_3h()` for the 3h Ap and Kp values.
Both functions return `pandas.DataFrame`s.
When the data available in the packaged version are too old for the use case,
they can be updated by passing `update=True` to both functions, or by calling
`update_data()` explicitly.

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> df_d = sw.sw_daily()
>>> print(df_d.loc["2000-01-01"].Apavg)
30.0
>>> df_3h = sw.ap_kp_3h()
>>> df_3h.loc["2000-01-01 01:30:00"]
Ap    56.0
Kp     5.3
Name: 2000-01-01 01:30:00, dtype: float64
>>> # All 3h values for one day
>>> df_3h.loc["2000-01-01"]
                     Ap   Kp
2000-01-01 01:30:00  56  5.3
2000-01-01 04:30:00  39  4.7
2000-01-01 07:30:00  27  4.0
2000-01-01 10:30:00  18  3.3
2000-01-01 13:30:00  32  4.3
2000-01-01 16:30:00  15  3.0
2000-01-01 19:30:00  32  4.3
2000-01-01 22:30:00  22  3.7

```

### GFZ

The "GFZ" module supports the ascii and WDC files as offered by the
[GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences](https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/)
on their [data page](https://kp.gfz-potsdam.de/en/data).
In contrast to the official python client, this module reads the data
from the (downloaded) files and does not access the web service API.
The interface is mostly the same as for the "Celestrak" data:

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> # Replaces the standard locations with the test files for doctest,
>>> # otherwise the package tries to download non-existent files as
>>> # the GFZ data are not included in the package.
>>> # Remove the following 2 lines for real applications.
>>> sw.gfz.GFZ_PATH_ALL = "./tests/Kp_ap_Ap_SN_F107_since_2024.txt"
>>> sw.gfz.GFZ_PATH_30D = "./tests/Kp_ap_Ap_SN_F107_nowcast.txt"
>>> df_d = sw.gfz_daily()
>>> print(df_d.loc["2024-01-01"].Apavg)
10.0
>>> df_3h = sw.gfz_3h()
>>> df_3h.loc["2024-01-01 01:30:00"]
Ap    3.000
Kp    0.667
Name: 2024-01-01 01:30:00, dtype: float64

```

Currently, the data are not included in the package, downloads can be triggered
by passing `update=True` to `sw.gfz_daily()` or by running `sw.update_gfz()`.
The lower-level interface functions are called `read_gfz(<filename>)`
for the ascii `.txt` files, and `read_gfz_wdc(<filename>)` for the WDC format.
They can also be used directly for reading already downloaded data files
outside of the package's data directory.

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> df_d = sw.read_gfz("./tests/Kp_ap_Ap_SN_F107_since_2024.txt")
>>> print(df_d.loc["2024-01-01"].Apavg)
10.0

```

The data format for the GFZ [Hpo indices](https://kp.gfz-potsdam.de/en/hp30-hp60)
Hp30 and Hp60 is also supported.
For downloading and updating the local Hp30 and Hp60 data files,
use `sw.update_gfz_hp30()` and `sw.update_gfz_hp60()`.
For reading individual files, use `read_gfz_hp(<filename>)`.

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> df_hp30 = sw.read_gfz_hp("./tests/Hp30_ap30_nowcast.txt")
>>> df_hp30.loc["2025-07-01 00:15:00"]
year       2025.000000
month         7.000000
day           1.000000
hh_h          0.000000
hh_m          0.250000
days      34150.000000
days_m    34150.011719
Hp            3.000000
ap           15.000000
D             0.000000
Name: 2025-07-01 00:15:00, dtype: float64

>>> df_hp60 = sw.read_gfz_hp("./tests/Hp60_ap60_nowcast.txt")
>>> df_hp60.loc["2025-07-01 00:30:00"]
year       2025.000000
month         7.000000
day           1.000000
hh_h          0.000000
hh_m          0.500000
days      34150.000000
days_m    34150.019531
Hp            3.333000
ap           18.000000
D             0.000000
Name: 2025-07-01 00:30:00, dtype: float64

```

To get a complete combined historic and nowcast dataset, use `sw.gfz_daily()`
by passing the Hp30 or Hp60 file locations and setting `gfz_format` to "hp30" or "hp60".
The standard file locations for the package data (i.e. when files are downloaded
automatically) are available through `sw.HP30_PATH_ALL` and `sw.HP30_PATH_30D`
for the hp30 complete and nowcast indexes, and analogous for hp60.

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> df_d = sw.gfz_daily(
... 	gfzpath_all="./tests/Hp30_ap30_complete_series.txt",
... 	gfzpath_30d="./tests/Hp30_ap30_nowcast.txt",
... 	gfz_format="hp30",
... )
>>> df_d.loc["2025-07-01 00:15:00"]
year       2025.000000
month         7.000000
day           1.000000
hh_h          0.000000
hh_m          0.250000
days      34150.000000
days_m    34150.011719
Hp            3.000000
ap           15.000000
D             0.000000
Name: 2025-07-01 00:15:00, dtype: float64

```

### OMNI

The [OMNI](https://omniweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/ow.html) 1-hour yearly data
are accessible via `omnie_hourly(<year>)` or `read_omnie(<file>)`.
Both functions should work with the OMNI2 standard and extended text files.
If the data are not already available locally, they can be cached by passing
`cache=True` to that function or by calling `cache_omnie(<year>)` explicitly.
As for the Celestrak data, `pandas.DataFrame`s are returned.

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> df_h = sw.omnie_hourly(2000)  # doctest: +SKIP
>>> # or with automatic caching (downloading)
>>> df_h = sw.omnie_hourly(2000, cache=True)  # doctest: +SKIP

```

If the data are already available locally, you can point the parser
to that location:

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> df_h = sw.omnie_hourly(2000, local_path="/path/to/omni/data/")  # doctest: +SKIP

```

Another option is to provide a filename directly to `read_omnie()`:

```python
>>> import spaceweather as sw
>>> df = sw.read_omnie("/path/to/omni/data/file.dat")  # doctest: +SKIP

```
