uxarray.io._scrip._read_scrip

uxarray.io._scrip._read_scrip(ext_ds)

Function to reassign lat/lon variables to node variables.

Currently, supports unstructured SCRIP grid files following traditional SCRIP naming practices (grid_corner_lat, grid_center_lat, etc) and SCRIP files with UGRID conventions.

Unstructured grid SCRIP files will have grid_rank=1 and include variables grid_imask and grid_area in the dataset.

More information on structured vs unstructured SCRIP files can be found here on the Earth System Modeling Framework website.

Parameters:

ext_ds (xarray.Dataset, required) – SCRIP datafile of interest

Returns:

ds – ugrid aware xarray.Dataset

Return type:

xarray.Dataset
