Working With Xarray and WindKit#
PyWAsP uses WindKit’s data structures built on xarray. Before diving into PyWAsP workflows, we recommend familiarizing yourself with these foundations.
Key concepts:
Data is stored in
xarray.Datasetandxarray.DataArrayobjectsLabeled dimensions enable selection by name rather than index
Coordinates automatically align and broadcast
Attributes attach metadata directly to data
