Global averages from NOAA data NOAA/glob_avg#
Description#
Read NOAA global-average trace-gas concentration NetCDF files.
Files provide a single global-average value per month (no horizontal grid); values are converted from ppb to ppm when read. Writing is not implemented for this format.
Note
The domain builder is adapted from an EDGAR-style emission-grid
domain plugin, reused here to build a dummy global grid from the
longitude/latitude/pressure variables of a reference
file; its error message still refers to “EDGARv5”, a leftover from
the plugin it was copied from.
YAML arguments#
The following arguments are used to configure the plugin. pyCIF will return an exception at the initialization if mandatory arguments are not specified, or if any argument does not fit accepted values or type:
Optional arguments#
- dir : str, optional, default “”
Path to the corresponding component. This value is used if not provided in parameters
- file : str, optional, default “”
File format in the given directory. This value is used if not provided in parameters
- varname : str, optional, default “”
Variable name to use to read data filesinstead of the parameter name if different to the parameter name
- file_freq : str, optional, default “1MS”
Frequency of input files
- split_freq : str, optional
Force splitting the processing at a given frequency different to file_freq
