imod.util.empty_2d_transient

imod.util.empty_2d_transient(dx: Union[float, ndarray], xmin: float, xmax: float, dy: Union[float, ndarray], ymin: float, ymax: float, time: Any) → DataArray

Create an empty transient 2D (time, x, y) DataArray.

dx and dy may be provided as:

• scalar: for equidistant spacing

• array: for non-equidistant spacing

Note that xarray (and netCDF4) uses midpoint coordinates. xmin and xmax 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) –

• time (Any) – One or more of: str, numpy datetime64, pandas Timestamp

Returns

empty – Filled with NaN.

Return type

xr.DataArray
