tab file as an input state?

[kikocorreoso]

Hi,

[Thanks for the time and effort put into this package, great work!!!]

Imagine I have a summary of a timeseries as a tab file or as a wind speed distribution calculated in several sectors. Also, I have an alpha parameter for the vertical profile calculated for each sector.

If I understood correctly, could I use a foxes.input.states.states_table.StatesTable as a way to describe the information of a tab file/wind distribution data as my input wind?

Could the profiles keyword be used to define the alpha parameter on each wind direction sector?

Thanks in advance.

KR,

• Yes, that is correct. A tab separated file requires additional parameters for the underlying pandas.read_csv method, via

pd_read_pars={"sep": "\t"}

and maybe more, added to the StatesTable construcor. (BTW, the latter is also reachable by foxes.input.states.StatesTable, as are all states choices).

• And yes, you can use

profiles={FV.WS:  "ShearedProfile"}

for generating vertical profiles with shear exponent. This requires the parameter FV.SHEAR (or simply the string "shear"), playing the role of alpha. Here FV is an alias for foxes.variables.

I hope this helps?

thanks @SchmJo

I'm talking about a *.tab file as defined within WAsP, OpenWind, Windfarmer, etc. Sorry if I do not explained correctly.

I do not know the definition of this file format. Could you please create an issue about this and upload an example? Thanks!

Opened #37.

Thanks.
