Parameters

Parameters#

The data that is provided via wetterdienst and its implemented services comes in all kinds of different shapes. Every provider publishes its own parameter codes, so each one is mapped onto a canonical parameter name that means the same thing everywhere. Those names, and the unit type each of them implies, live in a single table (wetterdienst.metadata.parameter_table) that every provider’s metadata is tested against, so a name cannot mean two different quantities depending on who reported it.

The glossary below lists them all. The provider pages link into it, so from any provider’s parameter table you can jump to what the parameter actually is.

Metadata Model#

Import the provider specific metadata model like:

You can inspect the metadata model of the services to see the available parameters and their descriptions. The metadata model is a Pydantic model with all its functionality so you can also extract a JSON schema.

Each parameter carries only what the provider itself knows – the canonical name, the provider’s own name_original and the unit it publishes in. The unit type is not repeated here because it follows from the canonical name; look it up in the glossary below, or in wetterdienst.metadata.parameter_table.
