Trends with cdo python bindings

Added by Neil Swart about 9 years ago

Hello,

I can return masked arrays to python when doing most cdo operations, eg:

var = cdo.timmean(input=ifile, returnMaArray='slp')

However, when trying to do operations that require two output fields, I'm not sure what to do, eg:

var = cdo.trend(input=ifile, returnMaArray='slp', returnMaArray='slp')
cdo trend (Abort): Too few streams specified! Operator needs 1 input and 2 output streams.

I've tried many different variations, including assigning to a tuple etc, but with no luck. Does anyone know how this is done?

thanks,
Neil

Hi Niel!
the current implementation of the python bindings do not support direct return of numpy-like arrays for multiple output files. Sorry, I didn't cover this.

Do get the values, you could save both ouput files and read them in with cdo sequentially.

If you want, you can upload you input so that I can play arraound with it.

thanks for hint!

thanks Ralf,

I took the option of saving to two files and then reading in, which works fine. I see that adding the ability to return arrays is on the list at gihub.
Thanks for all your work on this - I find the bindings very useful.

Hi Neil !

Can I know how do you do to read a plot with your data and the trend curve ? I don't manage to do that because of the 2 infiles.

Thanks

Hi Bérénice,

here is an example script that computes the trend and plots the data and trend in same plot.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from cdo import *
cdo = Cdo()

infile = 'tas_Amon_MPI-ESM-LR_rcp45_r1i1p1_200601-210012.nc'

ds = cdo.fldmean(input=infile, returnXDataset='tas')

tas = ds.tas.squeeze()

ds_a, ds_b = cdo.trend(input='-fldmean '+infile, returnXDataset='tas')

a = ds_a.tas[:,0,0].values[0]
b = ds_b.tas[:,0,0].values[0]
print('a =',a,'  b =',b)

trend_data = tas.copy()
for i in range(0,len(tas)):
    trend_data[i] = a+(b*i)

fig = plt.figure(figsize=(12,6))
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot(ds.time, tas.values)
ax.plot(ds.time, trend_data)
plt.savefig('plot_trend_cdo.png', bbox_inches='tight', facecolor='white', dpi=100)

Thanks you ! I succeed to adapt to my code and to my data and it is working !

I have an other question, it is just for the "style" :
How do you add a label to individually label each curve? I tried the following lines but it doesn't work, maybe I'm not using the right arguments, I also tried with 'ylabel'

ax.plot(ds.time, tos.values, color='b', linewidth=2., linestyle='-', alpha=1., label='Temperature')
#ax.set_ylabel(ylabel='Temperature')
ax.plot(ds.time, trend_data, color='r', linewidth=2., linestyle='-', alpha=1., label='Trend')
