Welcome to earthkit’s documentation
Warning
This project is BETA and will be Experimental for the foreseeable future. Interfaces and functionality are likely to change, and the project itself may be scrapped. DO NOT use this software in any project/software that is operational.
earthkit is a new open-source Python project led by ECMWF, providing powerful tools for speeding up weather and climate science workflows by simplifying data access, processing, analysis, visualisation and much more.
earthkit offers multiple interoperable software components built on top of well-established open-source Python libraries like numpy, pandas and matplotlib. earthkit also integrates and leverages the robust and operations-ready software stack that is familiar to ECMWF production systems (e.g. ecCodes, FDB, etc).
The interface of earthkit components is designed to be high-level in order to provide common tools to support activities across ECMWF and beyond. The design of the components also takes scalability into account, so researchers can enjoy efficiency whilst providing easier transfer to operations.
earthkit is still under development but some components are already available in beta through PyPI and their GitHub repositories.
