API Reference¶
config
¶
ClimateConfig
¶
Bases: BaseModel
Climate data configuration for spatial matching and interpolation.
Supports two strategies for aligning climate observations to raster cells: - 'spatial': Interpolate climate values using geographic coordinates (lat/lon). - 'index': Match cells to climate records by row index or explicit cell ID.
When strategy is 'spatial', three interpolation methods are available: - 'linear': Delaunay-triangulation linear interpolation (scipy.griddata, default). - 'kriging': Ordinary Kriging — geostatistically optimal with per-cell uncertainty (requires pykrige; ≥5 stations recommended). - 'idw': Inverse Distance Weighting — fast, no uncertainty estimate.
Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
strategy |
Literal['spatial', 'index']
|
Matching strategy: 'spatial' (interpolation) or 'index' (direct matching). |
interpolation_method |
Literal['linear', 'kriging', 'idw']
|
Interpolation algorithm when strategy='spatial'. Choices: 'linear' (default), 'kriging', 'idw'. |
cell_id_column |
str | None
|
Column name in climate CSV for cell ID (used with 'index' strategy). If None with 'index' strategy, uses row order matching. |
fallback_to_mean |
bool
|
If True, use global mean climate for cells outside interpolation range or when climate data is sparse (default True). |
validate_config()
¶
Validate consistency of climate configuration.
Source code in terraflow/config.py
validate_interpolation_method(v)
classmethod
¶
Ensure interpolation_method is valid.
Source code in terraflow/config.py
validate_strategy(v)
classmethod
¶
Ensure strategy is valid.
ExportConfig
¶
Bases: BaseModel
Configuration for H3 export (Phase 4).
ModelParams
¶
Bases: BaseModel
Parameters for normalization and weighting in the suitability model.
The weights w_v, w_t, w_r should sum to approximately 1.0 for proper normalization, though this is not strictly enforced.
Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
v_min, v_max |
Min/max vegetation index values for normalization. |
|
t_min, t_max |
Min/max temperature values for normalization (in °C). |
|
r_min, r_max |
Min/max rainfall values for normalization (in mm). |
|
w_v, w_t, w_r |
Weights for vegetation, temperature, and rainfall (should sum to 1.0). |
|
uncertainty_samples |
int
|
Number of Monte Carlo draws per cell for uncertainty propagation.
0 (default) disables Monte Carlo. Requires |
validate_max_values(v, info)
classmethod
¶
Ensure max values are reasonable numbers.

validate_min_values(v, info)
classmethod
¶
Ensure min values are reasonable numbers.
Source code in terraflow/config.py
validate_ranges()
¶
Validate that min < max for all ranges. Call after initialization.
Source code in terraflow/config.py
validate_uncertainty_samples(v)
classmethod
¶

¶
Bases: BaseModel
Top-level pipeline configuration.
Attributes:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
raster_path |
Path
|
Path to the input raster file (GeoTIFF). |
climate_csv |
Path
|
Path to the climate data CSV file. |
output_dir |
Path
|
Directory for output results. |
roi |
ROI
|
Region of interest specification. |

validate_all()
¶
Validate all constraints. Call after model initialization.
validate_max_cells(v)
classmethod
¶
Ensure max_cells is a positive integer.
validate_raster_band(v)
classmethod
¶
Ensure raster_band is a positive 1-based rasterio band index.
Existence of the band in the actual file is verified at pipeline runtime, because we cannot know the band count at config-load time without opening the raster (#42).
Source code in terraflow/config.py

pipeline
¶
Pipeline orchestration for TerraFlow.
All outputs are written atomically to::
output_dir/runs/<run_fingerprint>/
Every run produces exactly three artifacts:
features.parquet— per-cell suitability features (tidy/wide schema v1)manifest.json— config snapshot, run identity, input provenancereport.json— QA summaries, coverage metrics, step timings
A backward-compatible results.csv is also written to the same run
directory so that callers relying on the previous output path can migrate
at their own pace.
resolve_run_dir(config_path)
¶
Return the run directory for a given config without running the pipeline.
Uses the same fingerprint computation as run_pipeline() so that
terraflow validate always targets the correct run, not the most
recently modified one.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
config_path
|
Path | str
|
Path to a TerraFlow YAML config file. |
required |
Returns:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Path |
Path
|

Source code in terraflow/pipeline.py
run_pipeline(config_path)
¶
Run the end-to-end pipeline and return a DataFrame of results.
Uses spatially-aware climate data matching to apply per-cell climate values based on the configured strategy (spatial interpolation or index-based matching).
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
config_path
|
str | Path
|
Path to YAML configuration file. |
required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
pd.DataFrame:
|
Results table with columns: run_id, cell_id, lat, lon, v_index,
mean_temp, total_rain, score, label. |
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
FileNotFoundError:
|
If config file, raster file, or climate CSV does not exist. |
ValueError:
|
If configuration is invalid or no valid raster cells found in ROI. |
Notes
All artifacts are written atomically under::
output_dir/runs/<run_fingerprint>/
If that directory already contains all three required artifacts
(features.parquet, manifest.json, report.json) the pipeline
detects the identical run and returns early (no-op rerun).

suitability_score(v_index, mean_temp, total_rain, params)
¶
Compute a simple suitability score in [0, 1].
Combines normalized vegetation index, temperature, and rainfall using weighted linear combination. All inputs are normalized to [0, 1] range based on the parameter min/max bounds, then combined using the weights.
Parameters:

|---|---|---|---|
v_index
|
float
|
Vegetation index value (typically 0-1, but can be outside range). |
required |
mean_temp

float
|
Mean temperature in degrees Celsius. |
required |
total_rain
|
float
|
Total rainfall in millimeters. |
required |
params

ModelParams
|
Model parameters containing min/max bounds and weights. |
required |
Returns:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
float |
float
|
Suitability score in [0, 1] range. |
Notes
- Out-of-range inputs are clipped to [0, 1] during normalization
- Weights should sum to 1.0 for proper combination
- Final result is clipped to [0, 1] range
Source code in terraflow/model.py
suitability_score_array(v_index, mean_temp, total_rain, params)
