salem.GeoNetcdf

class salem.GeoNetcdf(file, grid=None, time=None, monthbegin=False)

NetCDF files with geolocalisation info.

GeoNetcdf will try hard to understand the geoloc and time of the file, but if it can’t you can still provide the time and grid at instantiation.

__init__(file, grid=None, time=None, monthbegin=False)

Open the file and try to understand it.

Parameters

file: path to the netcdf file

grid: a Grid object. This will override the normal behavior of

GeoNetcdf, which is to try to understand the grid automatically.

time: a time array. This will override the normal behavior of

GeoNetcdf, which is to try to understand the time automatically.

monthbegin: set to true if you are sure that your data is monthly

and that the data provider decided to tag the date as the center of

the month (stupid)

Methods

__init__(file[, grid, time, monthbegin])	Open the file and try to understand it.
close()
get_vardata([var_id, as_xarray])	Reads the data out of the netCDF file while taking into account time and spatial subsets.
set_period([t0, t1])	Set a period of interest for the dataset.
set_roi([shape, geometry, crs, grid, …])	Set a region of interest for the dataset.
set_subset([corners, crs, toroi, margin])	Set a subset for the dataset.

Attributes

roi	Mask of the ROI (same size as subset).
time	Time array
