salem.open_wrf_dataset

salem.open_wrf_dataset(file, **kwargs)

Wrapper around xarray’s open_dataset to make WRF files a bit better.

This is needed because variables often have not enough georef attrs to be understood alone, and datasets tend to loose their attrs with operations…

Parameters

filestr

the path to the WRF file

**kwargsoptional

Additional arguments passed on to xarray.open_dataset.

Returns

an xarray Dataset
