Description#

array2sampled transform: sample a gridded model field at observation locations.

Converts a model output array of shape (time, lev, lat, lon) to a sparse observation-indexed DataFrame by extracting the model value at each observation’s (i, j, level, tstep) index.

Forward: grid array → sparse simulated observations. Adjoint: scatter observation-space sensitivities back onto the grid

(atomic add via np.add.at).

This transform is typically placed between loadfromoutputs and toobsvect when the model provides gridded output fields.

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#

parameter : str, optional

Parameter name on which the transform works on

component : str, optional

Component name on which the transform works on

orig_parameter_plg : Plugin, optional

Plugin object on which the transform works on

orig_component_plg : Plugin, optional

Corresponding component object on which the transform works on

successor : str, optional

Name of the successor transform

precursor : str, optional

Name of the precursor transform
