sel(**kwargs) → numpy.ndarray

Convenience method to perform indexing on view using dimension names without knowing dimension order.

Parameters:**kwargs – slice/index to retrieve for a given dimension name
Returns:
an ndarray-like selection of the given indices
on self.view
Return type:view_selection
storage

A gt4py storage representing the data in this Quantity.

Will raise TypeError if the gt4py backend was not specified when initializing this object, either by providing a Storage for data or explicitly specifying a backend.

transpose(target_dims: Sequence[Union[str, Iterable[str]]]) → fv3gfs.util.quantity.Quantity

Change the dimension order of this Quantity.

If you know you are working with cell-centered variables, you can do:

>>> from fv3gfs.util import X_DIM, Y_DIM, Z_DIM
>>> transposed_quantity = quantity.transpose([X_DIM, Y_DIM, Z_DIM])

To support re-ordering without checking whether quantities are on cell centers or interfaces, the API supports giving a list of dimension names for dimensions. For example, to re-order to X-Y-Z dimensions regardless of the grid the variable is on, one could do:

>>> from fv3gfs.util import X_DIMS, Y_DIMS, Z_DIMS
>>> transposed_quantity = quantity.transpose([X_DIMS, Y_DIMS, Z_DIMS])
Parameters:target_dims – a list of output dimensions. Instead of a single dimension name, an iterable of dimensions can be used instead for any entries. For example, you may want to use fv3gfs.util.X_DIMS to place an x-dimension without knowing whether it is on cell centers or interfaces.
Returns:Quantity with the requested output dimension order
Return type:transposed
Raises:ValueError – if any of the target dimensions do not exist on this Quantity, or if this Quantity contains multiple values from an iterable entry
