I want to ask something. I'm trying to run the code shown below. But line 40, in
time_dim, lat_dim, lon_dim = t2m.get_dims ()
I get the error
ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 3).
How can I solve this. Can you help me please?
My code is below:
import cdsapi
import netCDF4
from netCDF4 import num2date
import numpy as np
import os
import pandas as pd
# Retrieve data and store as netCDF4 file
c = cdsapi.Client()
file_location = 'r"C:\Users\A\Desktop\download.nc"'
c.retrieve(
'reanalysis-era5-single-levels',
{
'product_type':'reanalysis',
'variable':'2m_temperature', # 't2m'
'year':'2019',
'month':'06',
'day':[
'24','25'
],
'time':[
'00:00','06:00','12:00',
'18:00'
],
'format':'netcdf'
},
file_location)
# Open netCDF4 file
f = netCDF4.Dataset(file_location)
# Extract variable
t2m = f.variables['t2m']
# Get dimensions assuming 3D: time, latitude, longitude
time_dim, lat_dim, lon_dim = t2m.get_dims()
time_var = f.variables[time_dim.name]
times = num2date(time_var[:], time_var.units)
latitudes = f.variables[lat_dim.name][:]
longitudes = f.variables[lon_dim.name][:]
output_dir = './'
Basically, you are trying to assign the output of t2m.get_dims()
into 3 variables:
time_dim
,lat_dim
,lon_dim
🚫 However, in reality, the call to t2m.get_dims()
returns more than 3 values.
🚫 And that's why you have the error: too many values to unpack
TROUBLESHOOT:
✅ Step 1 > Assign the return value to a list (outputs) > outputs = t2m.get_dims()
✅ Step 2 > Print the outputs to see the list elements > print(outputs)
✅ Step 3 > Find out which indexes correspond to which value of time_dim
, lat_dim
, lon_dim
✅ Step 4 > Assign the values based on the corresponding index, like: time_dim = outputs[0]
