Function load_dataset

xarray/tutorial.py:178–216

Open, load into memory, and close a dataset from the online repository (requires internet). If a local copy is found then always use that to avoid network traffic. Available datasets: * ``"air_temperature"``: NCEP reanalysis subset * ``"air_temperature_gradient"``: NCEP r

(*args, **kwargs)

    """
    Open, load into memory, and close a dataset from the online repository
    (requires internet).

    If a local copy is found then always use that to avoid network traffic.

    Available datasets:

    * ``"air_temperature"``: NCEP reanalysis subset
    * ``"air_temperature_gradient"``: NCEP reanalysis subset with approximate x,y gradients
    * ``"basin_mask"``: Dataset with ocean basins marked using integers
    * ``"rasm"``: Output of the Regional Arctic System Model (RASM)
    * ``"ROMS_example"``: Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) output
    * ``"tiny"``: small synthetic dataset with a 1D data variable
    * ``"era5-2mt-2019-03-uk.grib"``: ERA5 temperature data over the UK
    * ``"eraint_uvz"``: data from ERA-Interim reanalysis, monthly averages of upper level data
    * ``"ersstv5"``: NOAA's Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature monthly averages

    Parameters
    ----------
    name : str
        Name of the file containing the dataset.
        e.g. 'air_temperature'
    cache_dir : path-like, optional
        The directory in which to search for and write cached data.
    cache : bool, optional
        If True, then cache data locally for use on subsequent calls
    **kws : dict, optional
        Passed to xarray.open_dataset
