nctoolkit.DataSet.tmin

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

Calculate the temporal minimum of all variables

Parameters

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

Examples

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

>>> ds.tmin()

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

>>> ds.tmin("year")

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

>>> ds.tmin("month")

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

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

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

>>> ds.tmin( "month")

A daily climatological minimum would be the following:

>>> ds.tmin( "day")
