nctoolkit.DataSet.tmax

DataSet.tmax(self, over='time')

Calculate the temporal maximum of all variables

Parameters

over (str or list) – Time periods to average over. Options are ‘year’, ‘month’, ‘day’.

Examples

If you want to calculate maximum over all time steps. Do the following:

>>> ds.tmax()

If you want to calculate the maximum for each year in a dataset, do this:

>>> ds.tmax("year")

If you want to calculate the maximum for each month in a dataset, do this:

>>> ds.tmax("month")

If you want to calculate the maximum for each month in each year in a dataset, do this:

>>> ds.tmax(["year", "month"])

This method will also let you easily calculate climatologies. So, if you wanted to calculate a monthly climatological max, you would do this:

>>> ds.tmax( "month")

A daily climatological maximum would be the following:

>>> ds.tmax( "day")
