export_forecast_dataset
(field, exporter)¶ Write a forecast array into a file.
If the exporter was initialized with n_ens_members>1, the written dataset has dimensions (n_ens_members,num_timesteps,shape[0],shape[1]), where shape refers to the shape of the two-dimensional forecast grids. Otherwise, the dimensions are (num_timesteps,shape[0],shape[1]). If the exporter was initialized with incremental!=None, the array is appended to the existing dataset either along the ensemble member or time axis.
Parameters: - exporter : dict
An exporter object created with any initialization method implemented in
pysteps.io.exporters
.- field : array_like
The array to write. The required shape depends on the choice of the ‘incremental’ parameter the exporter was initialized with:
incremental required shape None (num_ens_members,num_timesteps,shape[0],shape[1]) ‘timestep’ (num_ens_members,shape[0],shape[1]) ‘member’ (num_timesteps,shape[0],shape[1]) If the exporter was initialized with num_ens_members=1, the num_ens_members dimension is dropped.
