cf.Data.uncompress

Data.uncompress(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Uncompress the data.

Only affects data that is compressed by convention, i.e.

  • Ragged arrays for discrete sampling geometries (DSG) and simple geometry cell definitions.

  • Compression by gathering.

  • Compression by coordinate subsampling.

Data that is already uncompressed is returned unchanged. Whether the data is compressed or not does not alter its functionality nor external appearance, but may affect how the data are written to a dataset on disk.

Added in version (cfdm): 1.7.3
