xWRF post-process output to CF netcdf

[rajkumar8581]

How do I get the xWRF post-process output to CF netcdf file.

import xarray as xr
import xwrf
ds= xr.open_dataset("wrfout_d01.nc").xwrf.postprocess()

This is mind-blowing!

import xarray as xr
import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
import xwrf
from datetime import datetime as dt
from metpy.units import units
ds= xr.open_dataset("wrfout_d01.nc").xwrf.postprocess()
ds.to_netcdf(path=("test.nc"), mode='w', format=("NETCDF4"), group=None, engine=None, encoding={'U':{'zlib': True,'complevel': 5}}
, unlimited_dims=None, compute=True, invalid_netcdf=False)

Could anyone help with what am I missing here.

Hi @rajkumar8581, we're very glad you're enjoying using xWRF. As to your question: as far as I'm aware (please correct me if I'm wrong @jthielen), we are not currently guaranteeing full CF-compliance of our post-processed data. This is also because there are some WRF fields, which are not in the CF-standard. However, expanding CF-compliance to as complete as possible might be something for the roadmap. We also welcome pull-requests to our repo, so if you were willing to build that functionality, we'd certainly try to assist you as much as possible.

Do you have any specific deviations from CF-compliance, you'd like to be addressed?
