climatrix 0.5a1

Tool for climate data research

🌍 climatrix

---

Climatrix is a flexible toolbox for sampling and reconstructing climate datasets.

It provides utilities and an xarray accessor that simplifies the workflow of working with climate data arrays — from preprocessing to statistical sampling.

🧪 Examples

🔍 Click to expand example: Accessing `climatrix` features

import climatrix as cm
import xarray as xr

my_dataset = "/file/to/netcdf.nc
cm_dset = xr.open_dataset(my_dataset).cm

📊 Click to expand example: Getting values of coordinate

import climatrix as cm
import xarray as xr

my_dataset = "/file/to/netcdf.nc"
cm_dset = xr.open_dataset(my_dataset).cm
print("Latitude values: ", cm_dset.latitude)
print("Time values: ", cm_dset.time)

📊 Subsetting by bounding box

import climatrix as cm
import xarray as xr

my_dataset = "/file/to/netcdf.nc
cm_dset = xr.open_dataset(my_dataset).cm
europe = cm_dset.cm.subset(north=71, south=36, west=-24, east=35)

🛠️ Features

• 🧭 Easy access to coordinate data (similar to MetPy), using regex to locate lat/lon
• 📊 Sampling of climate data, both uniformly and using normal-like distributions
• 🔁 Reconstruction via:
  • IDW (Inverse Distance Weighting)
  • Ordinary Kriging
  • SIREN (Sinusoidal INR)
• 🧪 Tools to compare reconstruction results
• 📈 Plotting utilities for visualizing inputs and outputs
