phenodata - phenology data acquisition for humans
#################################################


*****
About
*****
phenodata is a data acquisition and manipulation toolkit for open access phenology data.
It is written in Python.

Currently, it implements data wrappers for acquiring phenology observation data published
on the DWD Climate Data Center (CDC) FTP server operated by »Deutscher Wetterdienst« (DWD).

Under the hood, it uses the fine Pandas_ data analysis library for data mangling, amongst others.

Thanks to the many observers, »Deutscher Wetterdienst«,
the »Global Phenological Monitoring programme« and all people working behind
the scenes for their commitment in recording the observations and for making
the excellent datasets available to the community. You know who you are.

Getting started
***************

Install
=======
If you know your way around Python, installing this software is really easy::

pip install phenodata --upgrade

Please refer to the `virtualenv`_ page about further recommendations how to install and use this software.

.. _virtualenv: https://github.com/hiveeyes/phenodata/blob/master/doc/virtualenv.rst


Usage
=====
Display list of species::

phenodata list-species --source=dwd

Display list of phases::

phenodata list-phases --source=dwd

Display list of stations::

phenodata list-stations --source=dwd --dataset=immediate


Proposal
========
Display regular flowering events for hazel and snowdrop around Berlin and Brandenburg (Germany) in 2017::

phenodata tabular --source=dwd --dataset=immediate --year=2017 --regions=berlin,brandenburg --species=hazel,snowdrop --phase=flowering

Display forecast for "beginning of flowering" events for canola and sweet cherry around Thüringen and Bayern (Germany)::

phenodata tabular --source=dwd --dataset=immediate --forecast --regions=thüringen,bayern --species=raps,süßkirsche --phase-bbch=60

.. warning:: These commands are not implemented yet.

You can choose between two different datasets, `annual-reporters`_ and `immediate-reporters`_.
