microSWIFTtelemetry provides Python-based functionality for pulling telemetry from the microSWIFT wave buoy developed at the University of Washington Applied Physics Laboratory (UW-APL).
It contains collection of python functions for programmatically accessing and compiling data from the UW-APL SWIFT server at http://swiftserver.apl.washington.edu/ (base URL).
See examples/ for usage.
NOTE:
Please note this package is only developed to work with microSWIFTs and not the larger SWIFT buoys.
For a MALTAB-based implementation that works for the entire suite of SWIFTs, see SWIFT-codes and the pullSWIFTtelemetry.m function at https://github.com/SASlabgroup/SWIFT-codes/blob/master/GeneralTools/pullSWIFTtelemetry.m.
The server can also be queryed and explored using the web page and web-based map:
- http://faculty.washington.edu/jmt3rd/SWIFTdata/DynamicDataLinks.html (web page)
- https://swiftserver.apl.washington.edu/map/ (map)
The latest release of microSWIFTtelemetry can be installed from PyPI using pip:
