Version 1.0.2
See the v1.0.2 release notes.
Version 1.0.1
See the v1.0.1 release notes.
Version 1.0.0
Restructures naturf to use hamilton and geopandas
Urban parameters are calculated for each building simultaneously in a GeoDataFrame
Uses hamilton to organize and visualize workflow, allows for the full workflow to be run using just one command
Capable of handling large input shapefiles
Removes need for splitting of study area into multiple smaller shapefiles, resolving issues of splitting individual buildings into different files
Outputs binary file in coordinate system easier for WRF to correctly allocate
Version 0.0.0
Initial release
Converts input shapefile to numpy array using gdal
Calculates urban parameters in series of
if
andwhile
loopsCreates output binary and index files for input to WRF
For large study areas, requires input shapefile to be split into several smaller shapefiles using square tessellations with sides a power of 2 (meters or kilometers)
Output binary files named in accordance to each input file’s position in tessellation
Many shapefiles can be processed at once in parallel
