uxarray.UxDataArray.difference#
- UxDataArray.difference(destination='edge')#
Computes the absolute difference between a data variable.
The difference for a face-centered data variable can be computed on each edge using the
edge_face_connectivity, specified bydestination='edge'.The difference for a node-centered data variable can be computed on each edge using the
edge_node_connectivity, specified bydestination='edge'.Computing the difference for an edge-centered data variable is not yet supported.
Note
Not to be confused with the
.diff()method from xarray. https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/generated/xarray.DataArray.diff.html- Parameters:
destination ({‘node’, ‘edge’, ‘face’}, default='edge'') – The desired destination for computing the difference across and storing on
