interpolate_to_slice
(data, points, interp_type='linear')[source]¶ Obtain an interpolated slice through data using xarray.
Utilizing the interpolation functionality in
xarray
, this function takes a slice the given data (currently only regular grids are supported), which is given as anxarray.DataArray
so that we can utilize its coordinate metadata.Parameters: - data (
xarray.DataArray
orxarray.Dataset
) – Three- (or higher) dimensional field(s) to interpolate. - points ((N, 2) array_like) – A list of x, y points in the data projection at which to interpolate the data
- interp_type (str, optional) – The interpolation method, either ‘linear’ or ‘nearest’ (see xarray.DataArray.interp() for details). Defaults to ‘linear’.
Returns: xarray.DataArray
orxarray.Dataset
– The interpolated slice of data, with new index dimension of size N.See also
