emsarray

A number of useful functions and classes are imported in to the emsarray module for your convenience:

Format

get_file_format

emsarray.open_dataset(path, **kwargs)

Determine the format of a dataset and then open it, setting any flags required by the format.

Some dataset formats require certain flags to be set when opening a dataset. For example, UGrid datasets must be opened with scale_and_mask=False. emsarray.open_dataset() delegates to the correct Format impelementation.

Parameters

• path – The path to the dataset to open

• kwargs – These are passed straight through to xarray.open_dataset().

Returns

xarray.Dataset – The opened dataset

Example

import emsarray
dataset = emsarray.open_dataset("./tests/datasets/ugrid_mesh2d.nc")
