bolides.BolideDataFrame.filter_observation#

BolideDataFrame.filter_observation(sensors, intersection=False)[source]#

Filter data to only points observable (in time and space) by a given sensor.

Parameters:
sensors: str or list of str

The sensor(s) to filter the BolideDataFrame by:

  • 'GLM-16': The Geostationary Lightning Mapper aboard GOES-16.

  • 'GLM-17': The Geostationary Lightning Mapper aboard GOES-17. Note that the biannual yaw flips of GOES-17 are taken into account.

  • 'GLM-18': The Geostationary Lightning Mapper aboard GOES-18.

  • 'GLM-19': The Geostationary Lightning Mapper aboard GOES-19.

The shorthand 'G16' … 'G19' can also be used.

intersection: bool

If True, filter for bolides observable by all sensors given. If False, filter for bolides observable by any sensors given.

Returns:
BolideDataFrame

The filtered BolideDataFrame
