DSSATTools.weather

This module contains the classes that handle the weather definition. The WeatherStation class represents the DSSAT weather station. The weather station object can be created by reading the data from existing DSSAT wheater files:

>>> weather = WeatherStation.from_files(["UAFD9001.WTH", "UAFD9101.WTH",])

Note that the input parameter is a list of files, as DSSAT can have multiple files for the same station. The list of files must correspond to the same station. The weather station can also be created using the data from a DataFrame:

>>> weather_station = WeatherStation(
>>>     insi='UNCU', lat=4.34, long=-74.40, elev=1800, 
>>>     table=df_with_data
>>> )

where the df_with_data contains the weather data and its column names match the DSSAT weather parameters’ names. As with the event-based sections of the FileX, the table is a list of events (daily weather records). In this case the WeatherRecord class is the class representing each daily weather record.
