easysnowdata.topography.get_chili#

easysnowdata.topography.get_chili(bbox_input: GeoDataFrame | tuple | BaseGeometry | None = None, initialize_ee: bool = True, **kwargs) → DataArray[source]#

Deprecated since version 0.1.0: easysnowdata.topography.get_chili is deprecated since easysnowdata 0.1.0 and will be removed in 0.3.0. Use easysnowdata.terrain.chili.load instead. The new loader returns native values (normalize=’minmax’ keeps this AOI-relative rescaling) and names its dims latitude/longitude.

Fetch CHILI (Continuous Heat-Insolation Load Index) for a bounding box.

Deprecated since version 0.1.0: Use easysnowdata.terrain.chili.load(). It returns the native values by default; pass normalize="minmax" for the AOI-relative rescaling this function applied, or normalize="index" for the 0-1 index.

Parameters:

  • bbox_input (geopandas.GeoDataFrame or tuple or shapely.geometry, optional) – Spatial extent. Defaults to global extent if None.

  • initialize_ee (bool, optional) – Ignored: Earth Engine is initialised on first use (§2.8).

  • **kwargs – Additional keyword arguments passed to easysnowdata.terrain.chili.load() (and on to xarray.open_dataset(engine="ee")).

Returns:

xarray.DataArray – CHILI DataArray, min-max normalised to [0, 1] within the AOI.
