Examples

MultiFileWTK automatically searches for files of the form *m.h5

>>> file = '$TESTDATADIR/wtk'
>>> with MultiFileWTK(file) as res:
>>>     print(list(res._h5_files)
>>>     print(res.datasets)
['$TESTDATADIR/wtk_2010_200m.h5',
 '$TESTDATADIR/wtk_2010_100m.h5']
['coordinates', 'meta', 'pressure_100m', 'pressure_200m',
 'temperature_100m', 'temperature_200m', 'time_index',
 'winddirection_100m', 'winddirection_200m', 'windspeed_100m',
 'windspeed_200m']

MultiFileWTK, like WindResource can interpolate / extrapolate hub-heights

>>> with MultiFileWTK(file) as res:
>>>     wspd = res['windspeed_150m']
>>>
>>> wspd

Parameters:

h5_source (str | list) – Unix shell style pattern path with * wildcards to multi-file resource file sets. Files must have the same time index and coordinates but can have different datasets. Can also be an explicit list of complete filepaths.
unscale (bool) – Boolean flag to automatically unscale variables on extraction
str_decode (bool) – Boolean flag to decode the bytestring meta data into normal strings. Setting this to False will speed up the meta data read.
check_files (bool) – Check to ensure files have the same coordinates and time_index
use_lapse_rate (bool) – If a dataset is only available at a single hub-height and this flag value is set to True, pressure / temperature values will be calculated using linear lapse rate adjustment from the available hub height to the requested one. If the flag value is set to False, the value of these variables at the single available hub-height will be returned for all requested heights. This option has no effect if data is available at multiple hub-heights.
