windkit.empty.empty_bwc

windkit.empty.empty_bwc(output_locs, nsec=12, nbins=30, not_empty=True, seed=9876538)[source]

Create empty binned wind climate dataset.

If not_empty=True, the data variables are filled with meaninful random numbers, e.g. the sum of wdfreq is 1.

Parameters:
  • output_loc (xarray.Dataset) – Output geospatial information.

  • nsec (int) – Number of sectors, defaults to 12.

  • nbins (int) – Number of histogram bins, defaults to 30.

  • not_empty (bool) – If true, the empty dataset is filled with random meaningful data.

  • seed (int) – Seed for the random data, defaults to 9876538.

Returns:

ds – Binned wind climate dataset either empty or filled with random numbers.

Return type:

xarray.Dataset
