# obsarray: Measurement uncertainty handling in Python

[](https://app.travis-ci.com/comet-toolkit/obsarray) [](https://codecov.io/gh/comet-toolkit/obsarray) [](https://obsarray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

obsarray is an extension to [xarray](https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/) for defining, storing and interfacing with uncertainty information using standardised metadata. It is particularly designed to work well with [netCDF](https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf/) files and for the Earth Observation community.

obsarray is part of the [CoMet Toolkit](https://www.comet-toolkit.org) (community metrology toolkit), and can combined with the [punpy](https://punpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) (propagating uncertainties in python) module for very simple propagation of defined data uncertainties through arbitrary python functions.

## Installation

obsarray is installable via pip.
