zoom_xarray#
- metpy.calc.zoom_xarray(input_field, zoom, output=None, order=3, mode='constant', cval=0.0, prefilter=True)#
Apply a spline interpolation to the data to effectively reduce the grid spacing.
This function applies
scipy.ndimage.zoom
to increase the number of grid points and effectively reduce the grid spacing over the data provided.- Parameters
input_field (
xarray.DataArray
) – The 2D data array to be interpolated.zoom (float or sequence) – The zoom factor along the axes. If a float, zoom is the same for each axis. If a sequence, zoom should contain one value for each axis.
order (int, optional) – The order of the spline interpolation, default is 3. The order has to be in the range 0-5.
mode ({‘reflect’, ‘grid-mirror’, ‘constant’, ‘grid-constant’, ‘nearest’, ‘mirror’,) – ‘grid-wrap’, ‘wrap’}, optional See
scipy.ndimage.zoom
documentation for details.cval (scalar, optional) – See
scipy.ndimage.zoom
documentation for details.prefilter (bool (default = True)) – See
scipy.ndimage.zoom
documentation for details.
- Returns
zoomed_data (
xarray.DataArray
) – The zoomed input with its associated coordinates and coordinate reference system, if available.
