pycontrails.core.met_var¶

Module containing core met variables.

Classes

MetVariable(short_name, standard_name[, ...])

Met variable defined using CF, ECMWF, and WMO conventions.

class pycontrails.core.met_var.MetVariable(short_name, standard_name, long_name=None, level_type=None, ecmwf_id=None, grib1_id=None, grib2_id=None, units=None, amip=None, description=None)¶

Bases: object

Met variable defined using CF, ECMWF, and WMO conventions.

When there is a conflict between CF, ECMWF, and WMO conventions, CF takes precedence, then WMO, then ECMWF.

References

Used for defining support parameters in a grib-like fashion.

amip = None¶: AMIP identifier, if defined.

property attrs¶

Return a dictionary of met variable attributes.

Compatible with xr.Dataset or xr.DataArray attrs.

Returns:: dict[str, str] – Dictionary with MetVariable attributes.

description = None¶: Description

ecmwf_id = None¶: ECMWF Grib variable id, if defined. See ECMWF Parameter Database

property ecmwf_link¶

Database link in the ECMWF Parameter Database if ecmwf_id is defined.

Returns:: str – Database link in the ECMWF Parameter Database

grib1_id = None¶: WMO Grib v1 variable id, if defined. See WMO Codes Registry, Grib Edition 1 and CF Standard Names, version 77 # noqa: E501

grib2_id = None¶: WMO Grib 2 variable id, if defined. See WMO Codes Registry, Grib Edition 2 Tuple represents (disciple, category, number)

level_type = None¶: Level type One of “surface”, “isobaricInhPa”, “nominalTop”

long_name = None¶: Long variable name.

short_name¶: Short variable name. Chosen for greatest consistency between data sources.

standard_name¶: CF standard name, if defined. Otherwise a standard name is chosen for consistency.

units = None¶: Canonical CF units, if defined.
