PolarToolkit is a Python package developed to help with conducting polar science. The 5 modules shown here provide tools to help with a variety of common tasks.

Modules

Regions

Pre-defined or interactively chosen geographic regions. Includes many ice shelves, glaciers, and general geographic regions. These can be used in functions throughout, such as subsetting data or specifying areas to plot.

Fetch

Easily download data sets to your computer, retrieve previously download data sets, and perform common gridded data manipulations. This module uses Pooch to managed the download, storage, and retrieve of data, and PyGMT for grid manipulations.

Maps

Create high-quality maps using PyGMT with functions specifically tailored to Antarctica (and soon to include Greenland and the Arctic). plot types: 2D, 3D, subplots, interactive maps

Profile

Define a line, sample layers & data along it, and plot the results.

Utils

Useful functions for common tasks: coordinate conversion, grid comparison, masking, de-trending.
