Xarray extension for unstructured climate and global weather data
UXarray aims to address the geoscience community's need for tools that enable standard data analysis techniques to operate directly on unstructured grid data. UXarray provides Xarray-styled functionality to better read in and use unstructured grid datasets that follow standard conventions, including UGRID, MPAS, ICON, SCRIP, ESMF, FESOM2, and Exodus grid formats. This effort is a result of the collaboration between Project Raijin (NSF NCAR and Pennsylvania State University) and the SEATS Project (Argonne National Laboratory, UC Davis, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory). The UXarray team welcomes community members to become part of this collaboration at any level of contribution.
UXarray is implemented in pure Python and does not explicitly contain or require
any compiled code. This makes UXarray more accessible to the general Python
community. Any contributions to this repository in pure Python are welcome and
documentation for contribution guidelines can be found when clicking New Issue
under the Issues tab in the UXarray repository.
Why is the name "UXarray"?
We have created UXarray based on Xarray (via inheritance of Xarray Dataset and DataArray classes), a Pangeo ecosystem package commonly-used for structured grids recognition, to support reading and recognizing unstructured grid model outputs. We picked the name "UXarray" (pronounced "you-ex-array"), with the "U" representing unstructured grids.
