wavespectra.read_wavespectra

wavespectra.read_wavespectra(filename_or_fileglob, file_format='netcdf', chunks={})

Read Spectra from from netCDF or ZARR format in Wavespectra convention.

Args:

• filename_or_fileglob (str, list, fileobj): filename, fileglob specifying multiple files, or a file object to read.

• file_format (str): format of file to open, one of netcdf or zarr.

• chunks (dict): chunk sizes for dimensions in dataset. By default dataset is loaded using single chunk for all dimensions (see xr.open_mfdataset documentation).

Returns:

• dset (SpecDataset): spectra dataset object read from netcdf file

Note:

• Assumes frequency in \(Hz\), direction in \(degree\) and spectral energy in \(m^{2}degree^{-1}{s}\).

• If file is large to fit in memory, consider specifying chunks for ‘time’ and/or ‘station’ dims.
