floodsimilarity provides classes and methods to conduct a similarity analysis between multiple flood events. The library mainly consists of two parts:
(1) algorithms to compute indices and other statistics based on pandas and xarray
(2) well-defined data structures for data exchange (e.g. through the Similarity Backend Module)
floodsimilarity is used by the Digital Earth Similarity Backend Module (Eggert, 2021) as part of the Digital Earth Flood Event Explorer. It is developed at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and funded by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association through the Digital Earth project.
