Configuration of snowprofile package

Some parts of snowprofile package can be adapted to each user. The configuration is done in a ini file located:

  • On UNIX systems, the config file is located in ~/.config/snowprofile.ini

  • On Windows systems, the config file is directly in user home directory with the same name

In a [DEFAULT] section are stored keys common to all parts of the code while other sections could be used by sub-parts of the code.

It contains:

  • The default observer configuration (when not provided, the default are used by readers)

Example file:

[DEFAULT]
observer_id= CEN
observer_name = Univ. Grenoble Alpes, Université de Toulouse, Météo-France, CNRS, CNRM, Centre d'Études de la Neige, Grenoble, France
observer_comment = The best laboratory on the Earth
contact_person_id = 007
contact_person_name = M. Hide
contact_person_

If you plan to use snowprofile.io.read_mf_bdclim(), you have to create the folloing section:

[io_mf_bdclim]
host = host.domain.ext
dbname = database_name
user = username
password = password
