ncdata.iris module

Interface routines for converting data between ncdata and Iris.

Convert NcDatas to and from Iris Cubes.

ncdata.iris.from_iris(cubes, **iris_save_kwargs)

Create an NcData from Iris cubes.

Behaves like an Iris ‘save’ operation.

Parameters:

• cubes (iris.cube.Cube, or iterable of Cubes) – cube or cubes to “save” to an NcData object.

• iris_save_kwargs (dict) – additional keys passed to iris.fileformats.netcdf.save() operation.

Returns:

ncdata – output data created from saving cubes

Return type:

NcData

ncdata.iris.to_iris(ncdata, **iris_load_kwargs)

Read Iris cubes from an NcData.

Behaves like an Iris ‘load’ operation.

Parameters:

• ncdata (NcData) – object to be loaded, treated as equivalent to a netCDF4 dataset.

• iris_load_kwargs (dict) – extra keywords, passed to iris.fileformats.netcdf.load_cubes()

Returns:

cubes – loaded results

Return type:

iris.cube.CubeList
