pint-xarray

A convenience wrapper for using pint with xarray.

Usage

To convert the variables of a Dataset to quantities:

In [1]: import pint_xarray
   ...: import xarray as xr

In [2]: ds = xr.Dataset({"a": ("x", [0, 1, 2]), "b": ("y", [-3, 5, 1], {"units": "m"})})
   ...: ds
Out[2]:
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (x: 3, y: 3)
Dimensions without coordinates: x, y
Data variables:
    a        (x) int64 0 1 2
    b        (y) int64 -3 5 1

In [3]: q = ds.pint.quantify(a="s")
   ...: q
Out[3]:
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (x: 3, y: 3)
Dimensions without coordinates: x, y
Data variables:
    a        (x) int64 [s] 0 1 2
    b        (y) int64 [m] -3 5 1

to convert to different units:

In [4]: c = q.pint.to({"a": "ms", "b": "km"})
   ...: c
Out[4]:
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (x: 3, y: 3)
Dimensions without coordinates: x, y
Data variables:
    a        (x) float64 [ms] 0.0 1e+03 2e+03
    b        (y) float64 [km] -0.003 0.005 0.001

to convert back to non-quantities:

In [5]: d = c.pint.dequantify()
   ...: d
Out[5]:
<xarray.Dataset>
Dimensions:  (x: 3, y: 3)
Dimensions without coordinates: x, y
Data variables:
    a        (x) float64 0.0 1e+03 2e+03
    b        (y) float64 -0.003 0.005 0.001
