Developer API documentation

The functions and methods documented in this section are the internal workings of the OpenGHG library. They are subject to change without warning due to the early stages of development of the project.

Warning

Normal users should not use any of the functions shown here directly as they may be removed or their functionality may change.

modules

These classes are used for the processing of data by the ObsSurface processing class.

• Base class

BaseModule

Base class which the other core processing modules inherit (currently only ObsSurface)

• Processing classes

CRANFIELD

For processing data from Cranfield

CRDS

For processing data from CRDS (cavity ring-down spectroscopy) data from the DECC network.

EUROCOM

For processing data from the EUROCOM network

GCWERKS

For processing data in the form expected by the GCWERKS package

ICOS

For processing data from the ICOS network

NOAA

For processing data from the NOAA network

THAMESBARRIER

For processing data from the Thames Barrier measurement sites

• Datasource

The Datasource is the smallest data provider within the OpenGHG topology. A Datasource represents a data provider such as an instrument measuring a specific gas at a specific height at a specific site. For an instrument measuring three gas species at an inlet height of 100m at a site we would have three Datasources.

Datasource

Handles the storage of data, metadata and version information for measurements
