About PySPEDAS
PySPEDAS is the Python implementation of SPEDAS (Space Physics Environment Data Analysis Software). It supports most of the capabilities of SPEDAS, including:
- The ability to load heliophysics data sets from more than 30 space-based and ground-based missions
- Interactive access to many more data sets via NASA's CDAWeb service, and the HAPI data locator and download interface
- Support for the "tplot variable" data structure and tools, and SPEDAS-like plotting in conjunction with PyTplot, the Python implementation of the IDL tplot tools
- Field and wave analysis tools: wavelet analysis, power spectra, wave polarization analysis
- Magnetic field modeling: Tyganenko field models via native Python geopack package; magnetopause and neutral sheet models
- Coordinate transforms, interpolation routines, unit conversions
- Particle tools: plasma moments, 1-D and 2-D slices from calibrated 3-D particle distributions
PySPEDAS is one of the core packages of the Python Heliophysics Community.
New user installation and setup guide
For new PySPEDAS users (including those new to Python), we have a simplified guide to installing Python and PySPEDAS, geared toward users who want to get up and running quickly, with a set of tools and options that should work for most users: PySPEDAS simple installation guide
For those who want more choices about what tools to use and how to set up their environment, we have a page with a more "choose your own adventure" approach: Getting Started with PySPEDAS
