hfpytrace.density.sami¶
Package
SAMI3 model adapter for 2D and 3D electron density grid workflows.
Key Classes¶
Class SAMI3
Key Methods¶
Method SAMI3.fetch_dataset()
Method SAMI3.fetch_dataset_3d()
Method SAMI3._bilinear_ne_profile()
Implementation Notes¶
Spatial interpolation¶
fetch_interpolated_data and _fetch_profile_at_index use bilinear horizontal
interpolation (_bilinear_ne_profile) over the four surrounding 1° grid cells
instead of nearest-neighbour selection. Longitude wraparound at 0°/360° is handled
automatically.
Temporal interpolation¶
fetch_dataset and fetch_dataset_3d perform linear interpolation between the
two bracketing SAMI3 time frames using
The denominator uses the actual bracket width t_j − t_i, so non-uniform output
cadences are handled correctly.
API¶
hfpytrace.density.sami
¶
SAMI3 electron density reader.
Reads SAMI3 (Sami is Another Model of the Ionosphere, 3D) netCDF output files and interpolates the electron density onto arbitrary lat/lon/altitude grids for use in HF ray-tracing.
Requires¶
xarray, scipy : for netCDF I/O and interpolation.
Classes¶
SAMI3
Loads a SAMI3 netCDF file and provides fetch_dataset / set_dataset
methods that resample Ne onto user-specified grids.
SAMI3
¶
Bases: object
Electron density from SAMI3 simulation output.
Parameters¶
SimpleNamespace
Config with density_file_location, density_file_name, and
density_simulated_datetime (ISO-8601 string).
datetime.datetime
Requested time snapshot; the nearest SAMI3 time step is used.
int, optional
Round lat/lon values to this many decimal places during lookup.
-1 disables rounding. Default -1.

load_nc_dataset()
¶
Load the SAMI3 netCDF file into memory.
Reads time, altitude, geographic lat/lon, and electron density arrays
from the netCDF file and stores them in self.store. The raw
time variable (in hours from density_simulated_datetime) is
converted to absolute datetime objects. Longitude is kept in
the 0–360° convention as produced by SAMI3.

round_time(t)
¶
Round a datetime object to any time lapse in seconds t : datetime.datetime object, default now.
Source code in hfpytrace/density/sami.py
find_time_index(t)
¶
Finds the index of the interval in the array where the number falls.
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
The index of the interval where the number falls, or -1 if the number is |
|
outside the range of the array. |
