Args:
wrfin (:class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`, or an \
iterable): WRF-ARW NetCDF
data as a :class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`
or an iterable sequence of the aforementioned types.
timeidx (:obj:`int` or :data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES`, optional): The
desired time index. This value can be a positive integer,
negative integer, or
:data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES` (an alias for None) to return
all times in the file or sequence. The default is 0.
method (:obj:`str`, optional): The aggregation method to use for
sequences. Must be either 'cat' or 'join'.
'cat' combines the data along the Time dimension.
'join' creates a new dimension for the file index.
The default is 'cat'.
squeeze (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to prevent dimensions
with a size of 1 from being automatically removed from the shape
of the output. Default is True.
cache (:obj:`dict`, optional): A dictionary of (varname, ndarray)
that can be used to supply pre-extracted NetCDF variables to the
computational routines. It is primarily used for internal
purposes, but can also be used to improve performance by
eliminating the need to repeatedly extract the same variables
used in multiple diagnostics calculations, particularly when using
large sequences of files.
Default is None.
meta (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to disable metadata and
return :class:`numpy.ndarray` instead of
:class:`xarray.DataArray`. Default is True.
_key (:obj:`int`, optional): A caching key. This is used for internal
purposes only. Default is None.
height (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to True to return geopotential
height instead of geopotential. Default is True.
msl (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to True to return geopotential height
as Mean Sea Level (MSL). Set to False to return the
geopotential height as Above Ground Level (AGL) by subtracting
the terrain height. Default is True.
stag (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to True to use the vertical
staggered grid, rather than the mass grid. Default is False.
Returns:
:class:`xarray.DataArray` or :class:`numpy.ndarray`: The
geopotential or geopotential height.
If xarray is enabled and the *meta* parameter is True, then the result
will be a :class:`xarray.DataArray` object. Otherwise, the result will
be a :class:`numpy.ndarray` object with no metadata.
