xarray.Dataset.differentiate¶
-
Dataset.
differentiate
(self, coord, edge_order=1, datetime_unit=None)¶ Differentiate with the second order accurate central differences.
Note
This feature is limited to simple cartesian geometry, i.e. coord must be one dimensional.
- Parameters
coord (str) – The coordinate to be used to compute the gradient.
edge_order (1 or 2. Default 1) – N-th order accurate differences at the boundaries.
datetime_unit (None or any of {'Y', 'M', 'W', 'D', 'h', 'm', 's', 'ms',) – ‘us’, ‘ns’, ‘ps’, ‘fs’, ‘as’} Unit to compute gradient. Only valid for datetime coordinate.
- Returns
differentiated
- Return type
