.. currentmodule:: xarray
Converting units
================
.. ipython:: python
:suppress:
import xarray as xr
When working with :py:class:`Dataset` or :py:class:`DataArray` objects with
units, we frequently might want to convert the units. Suppose we have:
.. ipython::
In [1]: ds = xr.Dataset(
...: {"a": ("x", [4, 8, 12, 16])}, coords={"u": ("x", [10, 20, 30, 40])}
...: ).pint.quantify({"a": "m", "u": "s"})
...: ds
In [2]: da = ds.a
...: da
To convert the data to different units, we can use the
:py:meth:`Dataset.pint.to` and :py:meth:`DataArray.pint.to` methods:
.. ipython::
In [3]: ds.pint.to(a="feet", u="ks")
In [4]: da.pint.to({da.name: "nautical_mile", "u": "ms"})
