`mmspy` is a package for querying and analysing data from the NASA
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission.
Features
========
- Interface for LASP MMS Science Data Center (SDC) web services.
- Advanced integrator and interpolator for extended 3D particle distribution
function.
- Implementation of multi-spacecraft data analysis methods in `xarray`.
Why another space physics software?
===================================
At the moment, there are already a couple of well-developed Python
libraries for loading space physics data, such as
`PySPEDAS <pyspedas_>`_,
`Speasy <https://speasy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_, and
`SciQLop <https://sciqlop.github.io/>`_. However, there is
a lack of Python utility for direct interactions with the RESTful API
provided by the `MMS Science Data Center (SDC)
<https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/>`_. Inspired by
the Python package for CDAS web services,
`cdasws`_, this package
intends to provide access to the MMS SDC web services at LASP and fills
in that gap.
While the core functionality of `mmspy` does not differ much from that
of `PySPEDAS <pyspedas_>`_, which is to provide data from a repository to
space physics researchers, it puts focus on the broader
`Xarray ecosystem <https://xarray.dev/#ecosystem>`_ for
distributed and parallel computing with
`Dask <dask_>`_, performant I/O with
`Zarr <zarr_>`_, and automatic
unit handling with `Pint <pint_>`_. These
features aim to make the most out of metadata provided in CDF files
and make analysis of MMS data more intuitive, efficient, and scalable.
