Set the “index”#

This is what allows the indexing magic.

xds.xoak.set_index(['TLAT', 'TLONG'], 'scipy_kdtree')

Extracting sections#

# have to know that 0.1 is a reasonable choice
lons = xr.Variable("points", np.arange(150, 270, 0.1))
lats = xr.zeros_like(lons)

eqsection = xds.xoak.sel(TLONG=lons, TLAT=lats)

# plot
eqsection.TEMP.sel(z_t=slice(50000)).plot(y="z_t", cmap=mpl.cm.Spectral_r, yincrease=False)

Extracting multiple points#

xoak expectes “trajectories” to sample along. For a single point we create a 1D variable representing the coordinate location we want: in this case TLONG=220, TLAT=0. Seems like this could be fixed: xarray-contrib/xoak#37

xds.xoak.sel(
    TLONG=xr.Variable("points", [360 - 140]), TLAT=xr.Variable("points", [0])

Limitations#

  • [ ] cannot simply index by point

  • [ ] Can only set one index at a time (so only, TLONG, TLAT or ULONG, ULAT)

  • [ ] indexes are not propagated so xds.TEMP.xoak will only work after xds.TEMP.set_index is called
