easysnowdata.snow.snodas.load(aoi: Any = None, time: Any = None, *, variables: str | Sequence[str] | None = None, source: str | None = None, region: str = 'masked', chunks: Any = None, **kwargs: Any) → Dataset[source]#

Load SNODAS as an xarray.Dataset (time, latitude, longitude).

Parameters:

  • aoi – The usual spatial and temporal inputs. time must have a start: the NSIDC archive is one file per day.

  • time – The usual spatial and temporal inputs. time must have a start: the NSIDC archive is one file per day.

  • variables – Any of VARIABLES ("SWE" and "snow_depth" by default). The Earth Engine mirror carries only those two.

  • source – "nsidc" (default, no credentials) or "gee-climate-engine".

  • region – "masked" (CONUS, the usual product) or "unmasked" (the wider modelling domain). NSIDC route only.
