pysteps.io.nowcast_importers.import_netcdf_pysteps(filename, onerror='warn', **kwargs)¶

Read a nowcast or an ensemble of nowcasts from a NetCDF file conforming to the CF 1.7 specification.

If an error occurs during the import, the corresponding error message is shown, and ( None, None ) is returned.

onerror: str: Define the behavior if an exception is raised during the import. - “warn”: Print an error message and return (None, None) - “raise”: Raise an exception

Returns

precipitation: 2D array, float32: Precipitation field in mm/h. The dimensions are [latitude, longitude]. The first grid point (0,0) corresponds to the upper left corner of the domain, while (last i, last j) denote the lower right corner.
metadata: dict: Associated metadata (pixel sizes, map projections, etc.).

Other Parameters

dtype: str: Data-type to which the array is cast. Valid values: “float32”, “float64”, “single”, and “double”.
fillna: float or np.nan: Value used to represent the missing data (“No Coverage”). By default, np.nan is used.
