What is RainfallGridder?¶
RainfallGridder provides a user-friendly processing pipeline for generating gridded rainfall data. It is motivated by the need to make workflows for generating high-resolution gridded rainfall data products more open and extendable. It will be deployed to generate CEH-GEAR 15 min (an extension of the CEH-GEAR 1h product developed out of UKCEH). RainfallGridder is built on top of Polars, which handles efficient DataFrame processes (like Pandas, but quicker).
- The original methodology for CEH-GEAR 1h forms the outline of the pipeline this package provides. That is a 4-step procedure for:
Preparing your rain gauge data for gridding (combining duplicates by location).
Quality controlling rain gauge data with RainfallQC and the IntenseQC rulebase.
Correlating values daily sums of rain gauges to nearest daily gridded rainfall.
Generating grids using nearest-neighbour interpolation.
