nctoolkit.DataSet.tmedian

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

Calculate the temporal median of all variables :param over: Time periods to average over. Options are ‘year’, ‘month’, ‘day’. :type over: str or list

Examples

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

>>> ds.tmedian()

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

>>> ds.tmedian("year")

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

>>> ds.tmedian("month")

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

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

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

>>> ds.tmedian( "month")

A daily climatological median would be the following:

>>> ds.tmedian( "day")
