7.4.3.1. Baltic Currents Dataloader

Baltic current values are provided by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI). From their webpage:

This CMEMS Baltic Sea Physical Reanalysis product provides a physical reanalysis for the whole Baltic Sea area, inclusive the Transition Area to the North Sea. The surface variables are available every hour and include sea surface height, ice concentration and total ice thickness. The other variables, available as daily and monthly means, are salinity, temperature, horizontal current components, mixed layer depth, bottom salinity and bottom temperature.

class meshiphi.dataloaders.vector.baltic_current.BalticCurrentDataLoader(bounds, params)

import_data(bounds)

Reads in current data from a copernicus baltic sea physics reanalysis NetCDF file. Renames coordinates to ‘lat’ and ‘long’, and renames variable to ‘uC, vC’

Parameters:

bounds (Boundary) – Initial boundary to limit the dataset to

Returns:

Baltic currents dataset within limits of bounds. Dataset has coordinates ‘lat’, ‘long’, and variable ‘uC’, ‘vC’

Return type:

xr.Dataset
