This code repository was developed to provide a programmatic interface with legacy files from the Florida GOES reference and potential evapotranspiration project which are stored in a tabular ASCII format.
Utilities in this repository allow a user to read the tabular data into a Pandas.DataFrame object or, alternatively, as numpy.ndarray objects. See the example jupyter notebooks in the goeset/examples/ directory.
Penman-Monteith calculated reference evapotranspiration:
Priestley-Taylor calculated potential evapotranspiration:
Python versions:
GoesET requires Python 3.7 (or higher)
Dependencies:
GoesET requires NumPy 1.18 (or higher), Pandas 1.0.5 (or higher), and netCDF4 1.4.2 (or higher). GoesET may work with different versions of these packages, however they have not been tested.

Convert ASCII File to NetCDF
From the command line, convert a legacy ascii text file with tabularized data into a georeferenced, grid-based NetCDF file:
python ascii2netcdf.py <input ascii file path--required> <output netcdf file path--optional>
