This is the core python library for the IceNet sea-ice forecasting system.
This README
will be worked on more, but there's plenty of information around
in the icenet-ai
organisations repositories, which demonstrate usage of
this library.
We're still working on clear dependency management using pip, Tensorflow is best through pip but obviously you need NVIDIA dependencies for GPU based training. If you're having trouble with system dependencies some advice about environment setup is given by the examples under the pipeline repository.
Please note that icenet has an optional dependency on eccodes which requires a system library and a python wrapper. The system library can be installed via conda.
By default, Tensorflow will be built for CPU only when icenet is installed via pip. So, optionally, Tensorflow can be installed with CUDA support (recommended).
conda install -c conda-forge eccodes
pip install icenet
# To install newer versions of tensorflow (tensorflow>=2.14) with CUDA deps directly via pip:
pip install "tensorflow[and-cuda]<2.16"
Please consult the tensorflow docs for up-to-date info.
Please refer to the contribution guidelines for more information.
When installed, the library will provide a series of CLI commands. Please use
the --help
switch for more initial information, or the documentation.
The docs/
directory has a Makefile
that builds sphinx docs easily enough,
once the requirements in that directory are installed.
Please refer to the icenet-pipeline repository or the icenet-notebook repository for examples of how to use this library.
