act.io.write_icartt#

act.io.write_icartt(ds, filename, **kwargs)[source]#

Write an xarray.Dataset to an ICARTT FFI 1001 file.

Intended as the inverse of read_icartt(), so a Dataset produced by it round-trips back to a valid ICARTT file. Header metadata is taken from the Dataset attributes, and anything absent falls back to ‘N/A’.

Parameters:

  • ds (xarray.Dataset) – Dataset to write. Must have a time coordinate.

  • filename (str or pathlib.Path) – Destination path.

  • **kwargs (keywords) – keywords to pass on through to Icartt.write, such as fmt.
