wrfchem/std wrfchem/std#

Description#

Reads/writes WRF-Chem wrfchemi_*-style emission NetCDF files.

Flux time steps are matched to the Times character-array variable embedded in each file (via times_in_wrf_file). Both structured (south_north/west_east) and “unstructured” (flattened lat/lon) WRF domains are supported.

Warning

get_domain is not used by this plugin: the horizontal/vertical domain is instead supplied by a separate wrfchem domain plugin (see the requirements above), and calling get_domain here always raises CifNotImplementedError.
