xradar.io.backends.imd.IMDBackendEntrypoint#

class xradar.io.backends.imd.IMDBackendEntrypoint[source]#

Xarray BackendEntrypoint for India Meteorological Department (IMD) radar files.

IMD provides one NetCDF file per sweep. Open a single file with xr.open_dataset(file, engine="imd") to get a CfRadial2-compatible sweep xarray.Dataset. To assemble a multi-sweep volume, use open_imd_datatree() with a list of files.

Keyword Arguments:

  • first_dim (str) – Can be time or auto (default). auto selects azimuth (PPI) or elevation (RHI) as the first dimension.

  • reindex_angle (bool or dict) – If a dict, kwargs are passed to xradar.util.reindex_angle(). Defaults to False.

  • site_as_coords (bool) – If True (default), promote latitude/longitude/altitude to Dataset coordinates.
