GEddySoft_start

Main entry point for running GEddySoft eddy covariance processing software.

This module serves as the primary entry point for GEddySoft, handling:

  1. Configuration loading from INI files

  2. Input file discovery and mapping

  3. Processing mode selection: - Single-process mode for testing/debugging - Multi-process mode for production runs (one process per day)

  4. Execution monitoring and logging

  5. Error handling and automatic retry for failed days

The module implements a robust parallel processing strategy with: - Automatic CPU core detection - stdout redirection for clean logging - Progress tracking and reporting - Automatic retry of failed processing days

Typical usage:

python GEddySoft_start.py

Functions

run_pool

Execute parallel processing of multiple days using a multiprocessing pool.
GEddySoft_start.run_pool(days_to_process, log_filename)[source]

Execute parallel processing of multiple days using a multiprocessing pool.

This function manages a pool of worker processes to handle eddy covariance data processing for multiple days simultaneously. It includes robust error handling and logging capabilities.

Parameters:

  • days_to_process (list of str) – List of days to process in YYYY_MM_DD format

  • log_filename (str) – Path to the log file for recording processing status and errors

Notes

The function implements several key features: 1. Stdout redirection to prevent cluttered output 2. Exception handling with proper resource cleanup 3. Automatic process pool management 4. Logging of both successful and failed processing
