Tensor specification

  • Shape: (144, 499, 840)
  • Dtype: float32
  • Axes (inferred):
    • axis 0 — time step within day, 10-minute interval (24h × 6 = 144)
    • axis 1 — latitude grid (499 cells)
    • axis 2 — longitude grid (840 cells)
  • Per-file size: 241,436,288 bytes (≈ 230 MB)

Loading

import numpy as np
arr = np.load("2021/day_20210301.npy")  # shape (144, 499, 840), float32

Known issues

  • 2021/day_20210422.npy in the original source was truncated/corrupted (only ~5.6% of expected bytes, header advertised (144,499,840) but data could not be reshaped). This file is excluded from this release.
