0.4.0

New features

• Publishes ensemble tide modelling code for combining multiple global ocean tide models into a single locally optimised ensemble tide model using external model ranking data (e.g. satellite altimetry or NDWI-tide correlations along the coastline).

  • Update ensemble code to latest version that includes FES2022, GOT5.6 and TPXO10 tide models
  • Make ensemble model calculation function a top level function (i.e. rename from _ensemble_model to ensemble_tides)
  • Load tide model ranking points from external flatgeobuf format file for faster cloud access

• Major refactor to statistics functions to standardise code across both pixel_stats and tide_stats and add support for multiple models

  • tide_stats will now return a pandas.Series if one model is requested, and a pandas.DataFrame if multiple are requested
  • Added a new point_col parameter to tide_stats to control the colour of plotted points. If plot_var is also provided, points will now be coloured differently by default.

• Added a new crop_buffer parameter to configure buffer distance when cropping model files with crop=True (defaults to 5 degrees)

• Reorder model_tides parameters to provide more logical flow and move more common params like mode, output_format and output_units higher

Bug fixes

• Fix warnings from load_gauge_gesla function

Breaking changes

• The plot_col parameter from tide_stats has been renamed to plot_var
