Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate daily statistics such as the daily mean, maximum, minimum, etc.?

Please see the Calculate Daily Means example for calculating the daily mean of ERA5 data. The same approach can be used to calculate other statistics such as the daily maximum and minimum by using the appropriate aggregation function (e.g., daily_max for maximum, daily_min for minimum) instead of daily_mean in the code.

How are the dimensions to perform computations over detected?

Please see the Dimension detection page for more information on how dimensions and coordinates are detected in earthkit.transforms.
