netcdf

In the examples below, we explain how to create an anemoi dataset from one or more netCDF files.

input:
  netcdf:
    path: /path/to/data.nc

The netCDF source uses Xarray internally to access the data, and assumes that the netCDF files follow the CF conventions. You can also read a collection of netCDF files using the Unix shell wildcards.

Warning

We are aware of instances in which the creation of an anemoi dataset from a netCDF source does not work as expected due to missing information in the files’ metadata that anemoi-datasets expects. The anemoi-datasets’ internal routines do their best to infer missing information, but in some cases this is not possible. If you encounter this or similar issues, please open an issue in the anemoi-datasets repository.

See Create a dataset from CF-compliant data for more information.
