Interface to open NEMO global circulation model output dataset and create a xgcm grid.
Project description
xnemogcm
Interface to open NEMO ocean global circulation model output as an Xarray Dataset and create a xgcm grid. NEMO 3.6, 4.0, and 4.2.0 are tested and supported. Any version between 3.6 and 4.2.0 should work, but in case of trouble, please open an issue.

Installation
For conda
conda install --channel conda-forge xnemogcm
for pip
pip install xnemogcm
Usage
from pathlib import Path
from xnemogcm import open_nemo_and_domain_cfg
ds = open_nemo_and_domain_cfg(
nemo_files='/path/to/output/files',
domcfg_files='/path/to/domain_cfg/mesh_mask/files'
)
# Interface with xgcm
from xnemogcm import get_metrics
import xgcm
grid = xgcm.Grid(ds, metrics=get_metrics(ds), periodic=False)

Differences with existing tools
There exist tools in Fortran that ship with NEMO that are used to create domain files, input fields, etc. They are however more used to produce configurations with the necessary input files, than to analyse the outputs. So there is only one overlap with xnemogcm, which is recombining the mesh_mask / domaincfg files, when they have been outputted by different processors.
NEMO output files are outputted as netcdf so they can directly be opened by xarray. However, what is missing is all grid information in the shape needed by xgcm (COMODO convention). To solve this problem, another python package exists: xorca. However, xorca is not developed any more and is less flexible than xnemogcm. xnemogcm is meant to replace xorca, in addition to extending its functionality.
