xcdat-data

This repository exists to hold resource and example datasets for xcdat (e.g., as used in the documentation) that would bloat the main repository if included there.

navy_land	resources/navy_land.nc	Navy land mask dataset. The navy_land.nc file is used as the high-resolution land-sea mask. This file is sourced from the PCMDI (Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison) Metrics Package. It is a fixed asset (not expected to change) and is available at: https://github.com/PCMDI/pcmdi_metrics/blob/main/share/data/navy_land.nc	Global	8.97 MB

Usage

To access these datasets, simply import the tutorial open_dataset() function and specify the key of the file to open.

from xcdat.tutorial import open_dataset

# Specify the key
ds = open_dataset("pr_amon_access")
