xarray - Multi-Dimensional Geoscience Data

Quick Reference

import xarray as xr

# Read
ds = xr.open_dataset('data.nc')

# Access data
temp = ds['temperature']         # DataArray
values = temp.values             # numpy array
df = ds.to_dataframe()           # pandas DataFrame

# Structure info
print(ds)                        # Overview
print(ds.dims)                   # Dimensions
print(ds.data_vars)              # Variables
