The neonutilities Python package has been updated to version 1.2.0 and is available on PyPi. This update adds stacking functionality for surface-atmosphere exchange data, and improves the download workflow for remote sensing data. Updates in the new version:
stack_eddy() is available for stacking surface-atmosphere exchange data! Refer to the Introduction to working with NEON eddy flux data tutorial for guidance in using the function. The tutorial uses the R language version, but the function inputs and behavior are the same in both languages, with minor formatting differences (snake_case rather than camelCase, see help files). We will update the tutorial to include Python instructions in the near future.
Remote sensing download functions by_file_aop() and by_tile_aop() have been updated to add options for checking whether files are already downloaded and in local storage, and whether to overwrite them or not. Use inputs skip_if_exists= and overwrite= to exercise these options, and see function documentation for details.
Package update is recommended for all users! If you encounter errors or problems, use the NEON Contact Us form, or post an issue to the NEON-utilities-python GitHub repo.
