- imod.util.empty_3d_transient(dx: Union[float, ndarray], xmin: float, xmax: float, dy: Union[float, ndarray], ymin: float, ymax: float, layer: Union[int, Sequence[int], ndarray], time: Any) DataArray [source]#
Create an empty transient 3D (time, layer, x, y) DataArray.
dx
anddy
may be provided as:scalar: for equidistant spacing
array: for non-equidistant spacing
Note that xarray (and netCDF4) uses midpoint coordinates.
xmin
andxmax
are used to generate the appropriate midpoints.- Parameters:
dx (float, 1d array of floats) – cell size along x
xmin (float) –
xmax (float) –
dy (float, 1d array of floats) – cell size along y
ymin (float) –
ymax (float) –
layer (int, sequence of integers, 1d array of integers) –
time (Any) – One or more of: str, numpy datetime64, pandas Timestamp
- Returns:
empty – Filled with NaN.
- Return type:
xr.DataArray
