pace-util

pace-util is a toolkit for building Python weather and climate models. Its features can seem disjoint, which is by design - you can choose which functionality you want to use and leave the rest. It is currently used to contain pure Python utilities shared by fv3gfs-wrapper and fv3core. As the number of features increases, we may move its functionality into separate packages to reduce the dependency stack.

Some broad categories of features are:

  • pace.util.Quantity, the data type used by pace-util described in the section on State

  • Communication objects used for MPI

  • Utility functions useful in weather and climate models, described in Utilities
