easysnowdata.terrain.hillshade.load(aoi: Any = None, *, source: str | None = None, style: str = 'gray-earth-ocean-drainages', scale: str = '10m', cache: bool = True, chunks: Any = 'easysnowdata-default', **kwargs: Any) → DataArray[source]#

Load Natural Earth shaded relief for aoi (the globe when None).

Parameters:

aoi – Any form easysnowdata.aoi.parse_aoi() accepts; None returns the whole globe.
source – Only "natural-earth" today.
style – "gray-earth-ocean-drainages" (default; 1:10m only), "gray-earth-ocean", "gray-earth-water", "gray-earth" or "shaded-relief" (a plain hillshade). See STYLES.
scale – "10m" (default, 1 arcmin) or "50m" (2 arcmin) — Natural Earth’s 1:10 million and 1:50 million scales, not metres.
cache – True (default) downloads the zip once into the easysnowdata cache and reads it locally; False reads it over HTTPS every call.
chunks – Dask chunks; None loads eagerly.
**kwargs – Passed to rioxarray.open_rasterio.

Returns:
