pydeltasnow.utils.fill_small_gaps

pydeltasnow.utils.fill_small_gaps(Hobs, dates, max_gap_length, method='linear')

Interpolate small gaps in Hobs.

No extrapolation: data points before and after gap needed. Date continuity in the filled gaps + leading and trailing data point is ensured.

Parameters

• Hobs (1D numpy.ndarray) – Snow depth data.

• dates (1D numpy.ndarray of numpy.datetime64 dtype) – timestamps of the snow depth observations.

• max_gap_length (int) – Only gaps shorter or equal max_gap_length are interpolated.

• method (str, optional) – Interpolation method which will be passed to pandas.Series.interpolate(). The default is ‘linear’.

Returns

Hobs_intepolated – Snow depth data with filled gaps.

Return type

1D numpy.ndarray
