ncdata.xarray module

Interface routines for converting data between ncdata and xarray.

Converts NcData to and from Xarray Dataset objects.

This embeds a certain amount of Xarray knowledge (and dependency), hopefully a minimal amount. The structure of an NcData object makes it fairly painless.

ncdata.xarray.to_xarray(ncdata, **xarray_load_kwargs)

Convert NcData to an xarray Dataset.

Parameters:

• ncdata (NcData) – source data

• kwargs (dict) – additional xarray “load keywords”, passed to xarray.Dataset.load_store()

Returns:

xrds – converted data in the form of an Xarray xarray.Dataset

Return type:

xarray.Dataset

ncdata.xarray.from_xarray(xrds, **xarray_save_kwargs)

Convert an xarray xarray.Dataset to a NcData.

Parameters:

• xrds (xarray.Dataset) – source data

• kwargs (dict) – additional xarray “save keywords”, passed to xarray.Dataset.dump_to_store()

Returns:

ncdata – data converted to an NcData

Return type:

NcData
