SPREADING_CUMULATIVE_TIME_SCALE

gnome.spills.release.SPREADING_CUMULATIVE_TIME_SCALE¶

class gnome.spills.release.StartPositions(*args, **kw)¶

Bases: colander.SequenceSchema

Fundamental building block of schemas.

The constructor accepts these positional arguments:

typ: The ‘type’ for this node. It should be an instance of a class that implements the colander.interfaces.Type interface. If typ is not passed, a call to the schema_type() method on this class is made to get a default type. (When subclassing, schema_type() should be overridden to provide a reasonable default type).
*children: a sequence of subnodes. If the subnodes of this node are not known at construction time, they can later be added via the add method.

The constructor accepts these keyword arguments:

name: The name of this node.
typ: The ‘type’ for this node can optionally be passed in as a keyword argument. See the documentation for the positional arg above.
default: The default serialization value for this node when not set. If default is colander.drop, the node will be dropped from schema serialization. If not provided, the node will be serialized to colander.null.
missing: The default deserialization value for this node. If it is not provided, the missing value of this node will be the special marker value colander.required, indicating that it is considered ‘required’. When missing is colander.required, the required computed attribute will be True. When missing is colander.drop, the node is dropped from the schema if it isn’t set during deserialization.
missing_msg: Optional error message to be used if the value is required and missing.
preparer: Optional preparer for this node. It should be an object that implements the colander.interfaces.Preparer interface.
validator: Optional validator for this node. It should be an object that implements the colander.interfaces.Validator interface.
after_bind: A callback which is called after a clone of this node has ‘bound’ all of its values successfully. This callback is useful for performing arbitrary actions to the cloned node, or direct children of the cloned node (such as removing or adding children) at bind time. A ‘binding’ is the result of an execution of the bind method of the clone’s prototype node, or one of the parents of the clone’s prototype nodes. The deepest nodes in the node tree are bound first, so the after_bind methods of the deepest nodes are called before the shallowest. The after_bind callback should accept two values: node and kw. node will be a clone of the bound node object, kw will be the set of keywords passed to the bind method.
title: The title of this node. Defaults to a titleization of the name (underscores replaced with empty strings and the first letter of every resulting word capitalized). The title is used by higher-level systems (not by Colander itself).
description: The description for this node. Defaults to '' (the empty string). The description is used by higher-level systems (not by Colander itself).
widget: The ‘widget’ for this node. Defaults to None. The widget attribute is not interpreted by Colander itself, it is only meaningful to higher-level systems such as Deform.
insert_before: if supplied, it names a sibling defined by a superclass for its parent node; the current node will be inserted before the named node. It is not useful unless a mapping schema is inherited from another mapping schema, and you need to control the ordering of the resulting nodes.

Arbitrary keyword arguments remaining will be attached to the node object unmolested.

A release of elements into a set of provided polygons.

When X particles are determined to be released, they are into the polygons randomly. For each LE, pick a polygon, weighted by it’s proportional area and place the LE randomly within it.

Parameters:

filename (string name of a zip file. Polygons loaded are concatenated after polygons from kwarg) – (optional) shapefile
weights – (optional) LE placement probability weighting for each polygon. Must be the same length as the polygons kwarg, and must sum to 1. If None, weights are generated at runtime based on area proportion.

Returns a dictionary representation of this object. Uses the schema to determine which attributes are put into the dictionary. No extra processing is done to each attribute. They are presented as is.

The json_ parameter is ignored in this base class. ‘save’ is passed in when the schema is saving the object. This allows an override of this function to do any custom stuff necessary to prepare for saving.

class gnome.spills.release.InitElemsFromFile(filename, release_time=None, index=None, time=None)¶

Bases: Release

release object that sets the initial state of particles from a previously output NetCDF file

Take a NetCDF file, which is an output of PyGnome’s outputter: NetCDFOutput, and use these dataarrays as initial condition for the release. The release sets not only ‘positions’ but also all other arrays it finds. Arrays found in NetCDF file but not in the SpillContainer are ignored. Optional arguments, index and time can be used to initialize the release from any other record in the NetCDF file. Default behavior is to use the last record in the NetCDF to initialize the release elements.

Parameters:: filename (str) – NetCDF file from which to initialize released elements

Optional arguments:

Parameters:

index=None (int) – index of the record from which to initialize the release elements. Default is to use -1 if neither time nor index is specified
time (datetime) – timestamp at which the data is desired. Looks in the netcdf data’s ‘time’ array and finds the closest time to this and use this data. If both ‘time’ and ‘index’ are None, use data for index = -1

_read_data_file(filename, index, time)¶

num_elements_to_release(current_time, time_step)¶: all elements should be released in the first timestep unless start time is invalid. Start time is invalid if it is after the Spill’s releasetime

_set_data_arrays(num_new_particles, current_time, time_step, data_arrays)¶: Will set positions and all other data arrays if data for them was found in the NetCDF initialization file.

gnome.spills.release.release_from_splot_data(release_time, filename)¶

[longitude, latitude, num_LEs_per_splot/5000]

For each (longitude, latitude) release num_LEs_per_splot points
