imod.util.empty_3d_transient(dx: float | ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[floating]], xmin: float, xmax: float, dy: float | ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[floating]], ymin: float, ymax: float, layer: int | Sequence[int] | ndarray[tuple[Any, ...], dtype[int64]], time: Any) → DataArray

Create an empty transient 3D (time, layer, 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)

• 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
