Consulter
The instructions provided here will assist you in setting up pyWaPOR for a test case (to ensure the environment and notebook are properly set up) and to run the test case and investigate the output file.
1. Create user accounts
To access some of the input data you need to create user accounts. In the class, you will learn more about these data sources. This tutorial shows the steps to run pyWaPOR for a test case.
Before starting to run pyWaPOR, create user accounts on these websites:
- NASA Earthdata portal for downloading MODIS, SRTM, CHIRPS, MERRA2, and VIIRS data: https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov
- After creating an account, you will need to authorize applications so that python scripts can use your account to collect data.
- On the portal, go to Applications > Authorized Apps
- Click
- Add 'NASA GESDISC DATA ARCHIVE' and 'LP DAAC OPeNDAP' to the list
- Copernicus portal for downloading Sentinel data: https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/
- Climate Data Store (CDS) portal for downloading ERA5 and AgERA5 data: https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu
- After logging in, go to your user account page
- Under API Key, copy and save the information for UID and API Key
- USGS Earthexplorer portal for downloading Landsat data: https://earthexplorer.usgs.gov
- TerraScope portal for downloading PROBA-V data: https://viewer.terrascope.be
