This repository provides a number of python functions for use with xarray.
FATES history output is stored using the NetCDF format. The output supports four dimensions, the first three of which are always: time, lat, and lon. The fourth dimension will be a FATES-defined dimensions. Some of the output variables require association with multiple FATES-specific dimensions. To enable this, FATES will stack these dimensions, or "multiplex" them, together. To facilitate the user, we've developed a number of python functions to unpack, or "deduplex", the dimensionality when using xarray.
