Why earthkit?ΒΆ
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 a selection of core components are approaching a version 1.0.0 release and have release candidates available on PyPi and their GitHub repositories.
