GCPy is a Python-based toolkit containing useful functions for working specifically with the GEOS-Chem model of atmospheric chemistry and composition.
GCPy aims to build on the well-established scientific Python technical stack, leveraging tools like cartopy, numpy, and xarray to simplify the task of working with GEOS-Chem model output and performing atmospheric chemistry analyses.
- Produce plots and tables from GEOS-Chem output using simple function calls.
- Generate the standard evaluation plots and tables for GEOS-Chem benchmark simulations.
- Obtain GEOS-Chem's horizontal and vertical grid information.
- Implement GCHP-specific regridding functionalities (e.g. cubed-sphere to lat-lon regridding)
- Provide example scripts for creating specific types of plots or analysis from GEOS-Chem output.
- Provide user-submitted scripts for specific applications related to GEOS-Chem and HEMCO.

General NetCDF file modification: (crop a domain, extract some variables):
- Instead, use netCDF tools such as:
- Also see our Work with netCDF files guide at geos-chem.readthedocs.io
-
Statistical analysis:
- Instead, use statistical tools such as:
- Use scipy
- scikit-learn
- R
- etc
- Instead, use statistical tools such as:
-
Machine Learning:
- Instead, use machine learning tools such as:
- pytorch,
- tensorflow
- julia
- etc.
- Instead, use machine learning tools such as:
