Wrapper to handle importing MPAS files into xarray (https://github.com/pydata/xarray)
Module does
- Converts MPAS "xtime" to xarray time. Time dimension is assigned via
preprocess_mpas. - Provides capability to remove redundant time entries from
reading of multiple netCDF datasets via
remove_repeated_time_index.
Example Usage:
from mpas_xarray import preprocess_mpas, remove_repeated_time_index
ds = xarray.open_mfdataset('globalStats*nc', preprocess=preprocess_mpas)
ds = remove_repeated_time_index(ds)
To test:
tar xzvf globalStatsShort.tgz
python mpas_xarray.py -f "globalStats*nc"
This outputs a simple time-series plot of Time vs. Time to test functionality.
