zarr-dump v2
Description
2 new features in this release:
- CF conventions tooling
- CF summary in the default dump output:
- Detects axes (T/Z/Y/X) and works with both rectilinear and curvilinear grids (e.g. 2D
lat(y,x)/lon(y,x)referenced viacoordinates) - Suggests plot dims and slice dims
- Lists candidate data variables (excluding coordinate-like variables)
- Detects axes (T/Z/Y/X) and works with both rectilinear and curvilinear grids (e.g. 2D
cf-checksubcommand with metadata + light-touch coordinate checks (exits non-zero if any errors are found)
- CF summary in the default dump output:
- 2D slice plotting in an interactive window (viridis colormap)
zarr-dump STORE --plot VAR --plot-dims dim_y,dim_x --slice dim=index ...- Optional in-window navigation for non-plotted dimensions
CF conventions:
# Run CF-focused checks (exits non-zero if any ERRORs are present)
zarr-dump cf-check /path/to/zarr/store
Checks include (high level):
Conventions/conventionspresence and CF-like content- Dimension name list validation (
_ARRAY_DIMENSIONS/dimension_names) - Coordinate-variable checks (units type, bounds references, sampled monotonicity where readable)
- Time/vertical/lat/lon semantics checks (e.g. CF-style time units, calendar values,
positive, lat/lon ranges) - Reference attribute checks (
coordinates,ancillary_variables,cell_measures,cell_methods,grid_mapping,formula_terms) - Auxiliary 2D lat/lon detection and validation (including whether they're referenced via
coordinates)
2D slice plotting:
# Plot a 2D slice of a variable (requires exactly 2 plotted dims)
# Provide --slice for every remaining dimension not included in --plot-dims.
zarr-dump /path/to/zarr/store \
--plot temperature \
--plot-dims y,x \
--slice time=0
If the variable has extra dimensions (beyond the two plotted dims), the viewer supports interactive navigation:
- Tab: next dimension
- ←/→ or ↑/↓: ±1 (Shift = ×10)
- PgUp/PgDn: ±10 (Shift = ×100)
- Home/End: min/max
- Esc/q: quit
Notes:
- Plotting is only supported in the default mode (
zarr-dump STORE --plot ...). -c/--coordinate-datais not supported together with--plot.
