[pyngl-talk] PyNGL and xarray

[Karin Meier-Fleischer]

HI Mateus,

you can use xarray already you have to add .values to the 
sfXArray/sfYArray resources.

lat = xr.open_dataset('your_file').lat
lon = xr.open_dataset('your_file').lon
...
res.sfXArray = lon.values
res.sfYArray = lat.values

lon.values will give you the xarray data array lon as a numpy array.
See also xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/generated/xarray.DataArray.values.html

Bye
