xNRL helps you read NRL NWP output into xarray Datasets nested within Pandas DataFrames.

xNRL requires numpy, pandas, and xarray.

git clone https://github.com/U-S-NRL-Marine-Meteorology-Division/xnrl.git
cd xnrl
pip install -e .

The -e makes the code editable.

You can update the code with

cd xnrl
git pull origin main

Copy the environment_xnrl.yml file and create the Conda environment.

conda env create -f environment_xnrl.yml

Note: This only installs the current main branch and does not let you edit the code. You can update xnrl (and all packages in the environment) with

conda env update -f environment_xnrl.yml

import xnrl

# Load COAMPS flatfiles into an xarray Dataset
fp = '<path>/*pre*00120*'
ds = xnrl.open_dataset(fp, model='COAMPS')
