xee 0.0.13

A Google Earth Engine extension for Xarray.

Xee: Xarray + Google Earth Engine

An Xarray extension for Google Earth Engine.

How to use

Install with pip:

pip install --upgrade xee

Install with conda:

conda install -c conda-forge xee

Then, authenticate Earth Engine:

earthengine authenticate --quiet

Now, in your Python environment, make the following imports:

import ee
import xarray

Next, initialize the EE client with the high volume API:

ee.Initialize(opt_url='https://earthengine-highvolume.googleapis.com')

Open any Earth Engine ImageCollection by specifying the Xarray engine as 'ee':

ds = xarray.open_dataset('ee://ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/HOURLY', engine='ee')

Open all bands in a specific projection (not the Xee default):

ds = xarray.open_dataset('ee://ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/HOURLY', engine='ee',
                         crs='EPSG:4326', scale=0.25)

Open an ImageCollection (maybe, with EE-side filtering or processing):

ic = ee.ImageCollection('ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/HOURLY').filterDate('1992-10-05', '1993-03-31')
ds = xarray.open_dataset(ic, engine='ee', crs='EPSG:4326', scale=0.25)

Open an ImageCollection with a specific EE projection or geometry:

ic = ee.ImageCollection('ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/HOURLY').filterDate('1992-10-05', '1993-03-31')
leg1 = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(113.33, -43.63, 153.56, -10.66)
ds = xarray.open_dataset(
    ic,
    engine='ee',
    projection=ic.first().select(0).projection(),
    geometry=leg1
)

Open multiple ImageCollections into one xarray.Dataset, all with the same projection:

ds = xarray.open_mfdataset(['ee://ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/HOURLY', 'ee://NASA/GDDP-CMIP6'],
                           engine='ee', crs='EPSG:4326', scale=0.25)

Open a single Image by passing it to an ImageCollection:

i = ee.ImageCollection(ee.Image("LANDSAT/LC08/C02/T1_TOA/LC08_044034_20140318"))
ds = xarray.open_dataset(i, engine='ee')

Open any Earth Engine ImageCollection to match an existing transform:

raster = rioxarray.open_rasterio(...) # assume crs + transform is set
ds = xr.open_dataset(
    'ee://ECMWF/ERA5_LAND/HOURLY',
    engine='ee',
    geometry=tuple(raster.rio.bounds()), # must be in EPSG:4326
    projection=ee.Projection(
        crs=str(raster.rio.crs), transform=raster.rio.transform()[:6]
    ),
)

See examples or docs for more uses and integrations.

How to run integration tests

The Xee integration tests only pass on Xee branches (no forks). Please run the integration tests locally before sending a PR. To run the tests locally, authenticate using earthengine authenticate and run the following:

USE_ADC_CREDENTIALS=1 python -m unittest xee/ext_integration_test.py
