argopy.IndexFetcher.region#

IndexFetcher.region()#

Space/time domain index fetcher

Parameters

box (list()) –

Define the domain to load Argo index for. The box list is made of:

  • lon_min: float, lon_max: float,

  • lat_min: float, lat_max: float,

  • date_min: str (optional), date_max: str (optional)

Longitude and latitude bounds are required, while the two bounding dates are optional. If bounding dates are not specified, the entire time series is fetched. Eg: [-60, -55, 40., 45., ‘2007-08-01’, ‘2007-09-01’]

Returns

An index fetcher initialised for a space/time domain

Return type

argopy.fetchers.ArgoIndexFetcher

Warning

Note that the box option for an index fetcher does not have pressure bounds, contrary to the data fetcher.
