wavespectra#
Python library for wave spectra#
Wavespectra is an open source project for working with ocean wave spectral data hosted on wavespectra/wavespectra. The library is built on top of xarray, leveraging xarray’s labelled multi-dimensional arrays and making dealing with wave spectra simple and fast. It provides readers for 20+ file formats from spectral wave models and observation platforms, 60+ methods to calculate integrated wave parameters and manipulate spectra, spectral partitioning, parametric spectral construction and reconstruction, polar plotting and writers for several spectral file formats.
import xarray as xr
import wavespectra
dset = xr.open_dataset("spectra.nc", engine="ww3")
hs = dset.spec.hs()
dspart = dset.spec.partition.ptm1(dset.wspd, dset.wdir, dset.dpt)
dset.isel(time=0, site=0).spec.plot(kind="contourf")

History#
Wavespectra started as an internal tool developed by Rafael Guedes, Tom Durrant and David Johnson at Metocean Solutions. It was released as open source in April 2018 and received contributions from Jorge Perez. The project was transitioned into a fully community-developed project in July 2019, hosted at the wavespectra github organisation.
