Parameters:

  • filename (str or Path) – Path to a file that can be opened as a bwc. This includes .tab, .owc, .omwc, and .nc that were created as bwc files. The script will use the file extension to determine the file type and then parse it into a bwc DataSet object.

  • **kwargs (dict) – Additional arguments to be passed to the file reader.

Returns:

ds – binned wind climate dataset that is formatted to match the bwc description.
