Extract simulated time-slice and time-series data

Once initialised the GenieModel object, it will use the model path and gemflag to find netcdf/timeseries file. Then it stores all the available variables and corresponding path in the attribute nc_vardict and ts_varlist. By such, users can forget about the model path and focus on the target variable to analyse.

The model instance provides two methods to access the model time-slice and time-series respectively: get_var`and `get_ts. Each receives a parameter of the variable name. The variable name here means the short name in the netcdf file. For example, ocn_temp stands for ocean temperature.

Read time slice data

model.get_var("ocn_temp")

Read time series data

model.get_ts("ocn_temp")

Read diagnostic table

It is worth noting that cGENIE also produces a global average diagnostic table. This table contains the global average of all the useful variables in the model. One can use get_diag_avg to read this information.

model.get_diag_avg(9999) ## get the summary of the 9999th year
