inverted mask

#1 Unread post by maxblu33 »

I am trying to generate a grid using pyroms but I keep getting the mask inverted

I've been using pyroms to generate grids North Caribean region without any problem,
any ideas of what could be wrong?

thanks in advance

Yeah, I had that happen once too. Another way to set the land mask is with this package. He only sets the mask_rho variable so you need to set the u/v masks to be consistent with them - one way to do that is to fire up one of the editmask tools and let it do that.

thanks a lot Kate, it seems like a great tool
I will try it

I have another pyroms question, perhaps is more about opendap
I am tying to use pyroms to download hycoms ncoda 1/12 data base on the Palau Exmple script, perhaps my question is silly but I cannot find in Hycoms data server a link to the data that pyroms understand
for example
in your Palau Hycom get_hycom_GLBa0.08_Palau_grid.py you donwload data from
http://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/data ... _00_3zt.nc

but when I try to download it thi is the link I get from hycom data server
http://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/GLBa ... temp?Depth[0:1:32]

where can I ind data that en in something like archv.2015_001_00_3zt.nc

regards

Luis

Weird, the HYCOM tab in my browser points to http://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/data ... talog.html which now gives an error. Obviously it was working earlier this year. Anyone know where to look for it now?

Hi
About the inverted mask, i think i have a solution or at least it work for me.
Instead of using map.coastsegs for the polygons i use map.coastpolygons, something like this:
for xx,yy in map.coastpolygons:
xa = np.array(xx, np.float32)
ya = np.array(yy,np.float32)
vv = np.zeros((xa.shape[0],2))
vv[:, 0] = xa
vv[:, 1] = ya
hgrd.mask_polygon(vv,mask_value=0)

I am guessing that the source of this, is in the way the code 'jumps' from an open coast segment to the next.
When a shoreline is interrupted by the Basemap function, the topology changes and so does the distinction between land and water.

When I ran into a similar situation, I solved it by declaring the initial Basemap function without borders (i.e. the whole world - no lonmax, latmax etc.):

Code: Select all

map = Basemap(projection='merc',resolution='i')
In this way pygridgen gets all the topological information of where land stops.

Hi, Luis and Kate, have you solved the problem about url?
Several days ago, I have successed downloading some data from the url like http://tds.hycom.org/thredds/dodsC/data ... _00_3zs.nc. However, when I use the same script to download data today,it gives me the message:

Code: Select all

syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting SCAN_ATTR or SCAN_DATASET or SCAN_ERROR
context: ^
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "get_hycom_GLBa0.08_salt_2015.py", line 76, in <module>
    dataset = netCDF4.Dataset(url)
  File "netCDF4/_netCDF4.pyx", line 1848, in netCDF4._netCDF4.Dataset.__init__ (netCDF4/_netCDF4.c:13983)
OSError: NetCDF: Malformed or inaccessible DAP DDS
It means the opendap url is inaccessible, right? Do you have any suggestions for me?
Thank you very much.

I couldn't get files either a few weeks back. Perhaps they are having server issues. Why don't you contact the HYCOM people directly?
