pyisd

Reads NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD) data.

Installation

$ pip install isd

Usage

There is a simple command line interface. The isd record command prints a single record in JSON format:

$ isd record 720538-00164-2021

The Python API allows reading compressed and uncompressed ISD files:

import isd
with isd.open("isd-file") as records_iterator:
    records = list(records_iterator)

There is currently no parsing of the additional_data section, but all mandatory fields are parsed out into appropriately-typed fields on a Record.

Development

Install the development requirements and the package in editable mode:

$ pip install -e .
$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt

To run the unit tests:
