Melodist

MELODIST is an open-source toolbox written in Python for disaggregating daily meteorological time series to hourly time steps. It is licensed under GPLv3 (see license file). The software framework consists of disaggregation functions for each variable including temperature, humidity, precipitation, shortwave radiation, and wind speed. These functions can simply be called from a station object, which includes all relevant information about site characteristics. The data management of time series is handled using data frame objects as defined in the pandas package. In this way, input and output data can be easily prepared and processed. For instance, the pandas package is data i/o capable and includes functions to plot time series using the matplotlib library.
