Clipped netcdf produces nan values

[gkb999]

Greetings,
Im using rioxarray to clip my netcdf file based on shapefile.
Although I had issues initially, I could successfully clip it.
However, when I'm exporting it as a netcdf file and then check the netcdf file in other sofwtare, it shows all nan values.
When I try opening within python, I can plot, and below is an example of the mask.

The values within (in panoply)

What could be the issue?
Mask Code

poly = regionmask.Regions(np.array(sf1.geometry)) # my shape
mask = poly.mask(ds['z'].isel(time=0),lat_name = 'y',lon_name = 'x', wrap_lon=False) #masked

While clipping, I did not use any like for masking nan values. Is there anything as such?

When I look into "mask":

mask

<xarray.DataArray 'mask' (y: 1328, x: 1264)>
array([[nan, nan, nan, ..., nan, nan, nan],
       [nan, nan, nan, ..., nan, nan, nan],
       [nan, nan, nan, ..., nan, nan, nan],
       ...,
       [nan, nan, nan, ..., nan, nan, nan],
       [nan, nan, nan, ..., nan, nan, nan],
       [nan, nan, nan, ..., nan, nan, nan]])
Coordinates:
  * y        (y) float64 -3.947e+06 -3.941e+06 ... 4.341e+06 4.347e+06
  * x        (x) float64 -3.947e+06 -3.941e+06 ... 3.941e+06 3.947e+06

1. How to get rid of those empty spaces
2. How to convert x and y to lat-lon format.

I tried using transform utility form pyproj - that was a mess and even masking wasn't successful.

Thanks in advance
Warm Regards

Greetings @gkb999,

Maybe the data shows a lot of NaNs, but not all of the array data is NaN. ¿Can you check that with?:

import numpy as np
np.nanmax(YourXArray.values)

Maybe the software you are using to open the exported NetCDF overlooks few not NaN values.

Another procedure for clipping 100s of nc files is CDO:

Here's CDO:
https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/embedded/index.html

Here's how to mask NetCDFs with CDO:

@gkb999, are you able to provide a simple re-producible code snippet with input files?

ANSWER:

• https://corteva.github.io/rioxarray/stable/examples/clip_geom.html
• https://corteva.github.io/rioxarray/stable/examples/reproject.html

import xarray
import rioxarray
import geopandas

xds = xarray.open_mfdataset('H:/*.nc',combine = 'nested', concat_dim="time")
xds = xds.rio.write_crs("EPSG:3412", inplace=True)
geodf = geopandas.read_file('H:/roi_clip/ROI.shp')
clip = xds.rio.clip(geodf.geometry.values, geodf.crs).rio.reproject("EPSG:4326")

[ccalvocm]

Greetings @gkb999

To convert to lat-lon you would need to reproject your xarray:

import numpy as np
from pyproj import Transformer
xv, yv = np.meshgrid(sic_daily.x, sic_daily.y)
transformer = Transformer.from_crs("epsg:YOUREPSGNUMBERHERE", "epsg:4326", always_xy=True, )
lon, lat = transformer.transform(xv, yv)
sic_daily.coords['lon'] = (('y', 'x'), lon)
sic_daily.coords['lat'] = (('y', 'x'), lat)
sic_daily.attrs['crs'] = '+init=epsg:4326'

[gkb999]

Many thanks for the prompt reply @ccalvocm
It definetely convereted the x-y to lat-lon, but the converesion appears wwrong to me.
What I did:

from pyproj import Transformer
xv, yv = np.meshgrid(sic_daily.x, sic_daily.y)
transformer = Transformer.from_crs("epsg:3412",  "epsg:4326", always_xy=True, ) 
lon, lat = transformer.transform(xv, yv)
sic_daily.coords['lon'] = (('y', 'x'), lon)
sic_daily.coords['lat'] = (('y', 'x'), lat)
sic_daily.attrs['crs']  = '+init=epsg:4326'

My ROI's spatial Reference which is same as the raster clipped:

Attributes:

The lat-lon should not exceed 200
the shape bounds are typically : longitude: 160E to 200 and latitude : 90S to -75S
Also, the map when I plot:

I need something with lat-lon values like:

Greetings @gkb999 ,

¿Are you very sure your original data is EPSG:3412?, I can see values of x ranging to 3.947e+06 and y to 4.347e+06

Kind regards

[gkb999]

Can probably be anti-meridian issues?
The data crosses 180E, so could that be?
But, either way, even latitude-values aren't in 40S-50S range (originally : 90S-72S)

[snowman2]

I don't see any code using rioxarray yet. Did you follow these examples?

Now I set the crs and tried:

ds.rio.set_crs("epsg:3412")
geodf.geometry
clipped = ds.rio.clip(sf1.geometry.apply(mapping), sf1.crs, drop=False)

it worked

But, those blanks or those empty spaces

1. I need a zoomed in map (first priority)
2. Second, Convert those meters into lat-lon (Which constantly shows successful but is wrong.

i TRIED:

from pyproj import Transformer
xv, yv = np.meshgrid(sic_daily.x, sic_daily.y)
transformer = Transformer.from_crs("epsg:3412",  "epsg:4326", always_xy=True) 
lon, lat = transformer.transform(xv, yv)
sic_daily.coords['lon'] = (('y', 'x'), lon)
sic_daily.coords['lat'] = (('y', 'x'), lat)
sic_daily.attrs['crs']  = '+init=epsg:4326'

Lat-lon converted are wrong.

If you set drop=False, it acts like a mask and doesn't clip to the geometry. What you want is:

clipped = ds.rio.clip(sf1.geometry.values, sf1.crs)

Well, I got why the image after reprojection was so terrible @snowman2
the longitudes were not reprojected right.
As the data passes by 180 (anti-meridian issues? as reprojection was in 4326?)

Hi @snowman2 thanks for the related content.
I'm anyway working these clips and reprojections.
I realized, the clip worked the other day but the longitude values are not right. When I used polar-projection, it appeared exactly where it is supposed to be.

but the longitudes show 0-360 (as I applied the wrap)

How to get the right longitude values there?
I thought reprojecting before clipping might sustain the longitude values.

So, what I did was, using the same method as mentioned by you,

ds.rio.set_crs("EPSG:3412", inplace=True) #set crs 
ds.z.rio.reproject("EPSG:4326") # reprojected in lat-lon

However this only works if I'm passing ds.z (that is data-array) and not on dataset directly

ds.rio.reproject("EPSG:4326")

I converetd the data-array to dataset

ds_latlon = ds_latlon.to_dataset()

but when I save, I don't see any array (it's just a single array) - no time - dimension left which I added manually before saving.
I'm using

del ds.z.attrs['grid_mapping'] #deleting the attribute as it is causing error while saving which is commonly reported across stack-flow and found deleting attribute is a solution
ds.to_netcdf('H:/latlon.nc')

Also, how do I remove nan-values from the final product?

My questions are:

1. Why am i unable to reproject dataset dircetly and only data-ararys?
2. How to completely not use nan-values for later analysis
3. Why only single dimension is being saved?

Many thanks in advance

[snowman2]

Why am i unable to reproject dataset dircetly and only data-ararys?

You can sometimes re-project Datasets. rioxarray tries to guess which DataArray's within a dataset are able to be re-projected. Sometimes, it thinks there is a bad array (in your scenario). If you only want the geospatial data, you can pre-select it from the dataset before re-projecting.

How to completely not use nan-values for later analysis

Mind re-wording/clarifying this question. Not sure what you mean.

Why only single dimension is being saved?

Not sure. The time dimension should be preserved ... hard to debug without the input files.

Okay, I did the way mentioned, pre-selected/clipped before reprojection, but the longitudes are arranged as -180 to +180 , although the data doesn't contain those longitudes.
Can this be sorted? Or should be rearrange / manipulate longitude coordinates manually?

Mind re-wording/clarifying this question. Not sure what you mean.

Sorry for not making sense initially. I wanted to ask that when I'm saving back the data clipped and reprojected, a lot of nan values come along. So, is there a way while clipping to ignore these nans?

Anyway, that isn't of concern too - as I can use xarray to get rid of NaNs.

Not sure. The time dimension should be preserved ... hard to debug without the input files.

The time-dimensions is sorted. So, this part isn't an issue anymore

The only issue that's bothering is, sorting the longitudes coordinates.

[gkb999]

Hi again,
Is it that the reprojection would distort and change the data resolution?

Is there a way we can just use the existing x-y grid is meters to generate lat-lon and have additional coordinates there?

Similar Links: https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/245151/why-does-reprojection-with-gdalwarp-change-pixel-size
that talk about distortions at poles with wgs84.

[snowman2]

You can pass in resolution= to reproject.

[gkb999]

You can pass in resolution= to reproject.

rep = ds.rio.reproject(
    "EPSG:4326",
    resolution=6.25, #in kilometers
    nodata=np.nan # Set NaN as NoData
)

Is this right?
This doesn't seem to work either

Can I use

reproject_match 
``` ???

[snowman2]

The resolution is the resolution in the destination CRS. So, the units are degrees.

[gkb999]

Thanks for the option @snowman2 but maybe this doesn't work
Firstly, this is never success because of units conversion - as the meters is a distance and degrees is angle, it changes as it goes towards the poles, especially the longitude. So, should accept that rioxarray may not be able to just by passing resolution
Secondly, it runs into memory issue, although the file isn't huge.
Gridded data is obviously higher in space.
Although I found a function that can convert xy to polar coordinates (https://github.com/nsidc/polarstereo-lonlat-convert-py/blob/main/README.md), but again, the coordinate are wrong there.

Anyway, thanks for the assistance so far, and if the resolution option works, please show me some sample (mine is 6.25km for my data).

[snowman2]

Firstly, this is never success because of units conversion - as the meters is a distance and degrees is angle, it changes as it goes towards the poles, especially the longitude. So, should accept that rioxarray may not be able to just by passing resolution

The grid will be equally spaced in the projection you choose. So, it will need equal intervals in degrees. As you have concluded, this will not be equal in meters. So, you will have to chose a value that is the closest approximation for what you want or pick an equal distance projection.
