LiPD Utilities (pyleoclim.utils.lipdutils)

Pyleoclim is meant to directly handle datasets in the Linked Paleo Data (LiPD) format. Pyleoclim works with timeseries objects and model tables present in these files.

enumerateLipds	enumerate the LiPD files loaded in the workspace
getLipd	Prompt for a LiPD files
promptForVariable	Prompt for a specific variable
xAxisTs	Get the x-axis for the timeseries
checkXaxis	Check that a x-axis is present for the timeseries
checkTimeAxis	This function makes sure that time is available for the timeseries
searchVar	This functions searches for keywords (exact match) for a variable.
enumerateTs	Enumerate the available time series objects
getTs	Get a specific timeseries object from a dictionary of timeseries
LipdToOntology	Standardize archiveType
timeUnitsCheck	This function attempts to make sense of the time units by checking for equivalence
pre_process_list	Pre-process a series of strings for capitalized letters, space, and punctuation.
similar_string	Returns a list of indices for strings with similar values
pre_process_str	Pre-process a string for capitalized letters, space, and punctuation
isModel	Check for the presence of a model in the same object as the measurement table
modelNumber	Assign a new or existing model number
isMeasurement	Check whether measurement tables are available
whichMeasurement	Select a measurement table from a list
getMeasurement	Extract the dictionary corresponding to the measurement table
isEnsemble	Check whether ensembles are available
whichEnsemble	Select an ensemble table from a list
getEnsemble	Extracts the ensemble values and depth vector from the dictionary
mapAgeEnsembleToPaleoData	Map the depth for the ensemble age values to the paleo depth
gen_dict_extract	Recursively searches for all the values in nested dictionaries corresponding to a particular key
