This python package reads data from the ISMN database. It is now at version 0.3 and can be installed via pip.
The new version of the package incorporates the following developments:
· The user can fully exploit the ancillary layers of the ISMN data by accessing the land cover and climate class information stored in the metadata. These fields are returned in the metadata of each station and can also be used to filter the stations chosen for analysis.
· The package now uses cartopy instead of basemap for plotting routines. This is due to basemap no longer being supported past 2020.
· Please be aware that only ISMN data in CEOP format is supported not in the header+values format which also can be chosen for the ISMN data download. For more information on ISMN download formats please have a look here: https://ismn.geo.tuwien.ac.at/en/data-access/.
The package is distributed via PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/ismn and the source code is available on github: https://github.com/TUW-GEO/ismn.
