xarray.DataArray.max

DataArray.max(dim=None, axis=None, skipna=None, keep_attrs=False, **kwargs)

Reduce this DataArray’s data by applying max along some dimension(s).

Parameters:

dim : str or sequence of str, optional

Dimension(s) over which to apply max.

axis : int or sequence of int, optional

Axis(es) over which to apply max. Only one of the ‘dim’ and ‘axis’ arguments can be supplied. If neither are supplied, then max is calculated over axes.

skipna : bool, optional

If True, skip missing values (as marked by NaN). By default, only skips missing values for float dtypes; other dtypes either do not have a sentinel missing value (int) or skipna=True has not been implemented (object, datetime64 or timedelta64).

keep_attrs : bool, optional

If True, the attributes (attrs) will be copied from the original object to the new one. If False (default), the new object will be returned without attributes.

**kwargs : dict

Additional keyword arguments passed on to max.

Returns:

reduced : DataArray

New DataArray object with max applied to its data and the indicated dimension(s) removed.
