Download instructions

This sample Python code shows how to download this dataset, create subsets of it and save them as NetCDF, using the Xarray library.

import xarray as xr
import fsspec

# Open remote dataset
ds = xr.open_zarr(
  store=fsspec.get_mapper("https://data.seedsproject.eu/seeds_biomass-burning-carbon-flux_bira-iasb_20180101-20221231_magritte_v2/slices.zarr")
)

# Subset a time range, save as NetCDF
time_subset = ds.pyrogenic_totalc_flux.sel(time=slice('2019-06-01', '2019-07-01'))
time_subset.to_netcdf('./pyrogenic_totalc_flux_time_subset.nc')

# Subset a time and geographical range, save as NetCDF
time_geo_subset = ds.pyrogenic_totalc_flux.sel(time=slice('2019-06-01', '2019-07-01'), latitude=slice(40, 43), longitude=slice(0,3.5))
