How FATES aggregates PFT × size (scpf) variables to size (scls) and site-level (si) outputs？

[LianGong98]

Hello,

In FATES, are output variables at the site level (si), PFT × size level (scpf), and size level (scls) tracked separately? If I want to aggregate a variable (e.g., FATES_C13DISC_SZPF) from scpf to scls and si, how does FATES perform this aggregation?

Thank you very much for your time and help.

Best regards,
Lian

Hi @LianGong98 -- @samsrabin and I have worked on an axarray library to unroll the multiplexed dimensions into their component dimensions like you ask. That library is here. It's been on my to-do list to copy this into the FATES tools directory, will try to do that soon.

That’s great! Thank you very much!

Noting that this library is now available as the xarray-functions submodule in the fates tools subdirectory, as of #1349.
