MpasToXdmf.convert_to_xdmf(out_dir, extra_dims=None, quiet=False, float32=False, max_read_bytes=2147483648)[source]

Convert the loaded xarray Dataset to XDMF + HDF5 format.

Parameters:

  • out_dir (str) – Directory where XDMF and HDF5 files will be saved.

  • extra_dims (dict, optional) – Dictionary mapping extra dimensions to their selected indices. Example - {'nVertLevels': [0, 1, 2]}. If None, all indices are included.

  • quiet (bool, optional) – If True, suppress progress output.

  • float32 (bool, optional) – If True, write floating-point fields in single precision, halving the size of the HDF5 files (the mesh geometry stays in double precision).

  • max_read_bytes (int, optional) – Approximate limit on the number of bytes read from the input dataset at a time. Larger values allow more indices of an extra dimension (e.g. nVertLevels) to be read in a single pass over a variable, which is faster but uses more memory.

  • Output

  • ------

  • directory. (- XDMF files (.xdmf) and HDF5 files (.h5) in the specified)

Raises:

ValueError – If required files or variables are missing.
