wrf.get_left_indexes

wrf.get_left_indexes(var, expected_dims)

Returns a tuple for the extra leftmost dimension sizes.

For example, if an algorithm expects a 3 dimensional variable, but the variable includes an additional left dimension for Time, and this Time dimension has 3 values, then this function will return (3,).

Parameters:
  • var (array) – An array object that contains the ndim and shape attributes.
  • expected_dims (int) – The expected number of dimensions (usually for a computational algorithm).
Returns:

The shape for the extra leftmost dimensions.

Return type:

tuple
