xarray.Dataset.shift

Dataset.shift(self, shifts=None, fill_value=<NA>, **shifts_kwargs)

Shift this dataset by an offset along one or more dimensions.

Only data variables are moved; coordinates stay in place. This is consistent with the behavior of shift in pandas.

Parameters
  • shifts (Mapping with the form of {dim: offset}) – Integer offset to shift along each of the given dimensions. Positive offsets shift to the right; negative offsets shift to the left.

  • fill_value (scalar, optional) – Value to use for newly missing values

  • **shifts_kwargs – The keyword arguments form of shifts. One of shifts or shifts_kwarg must be provided.

Returns

shifted – Dataset with the same coordinates and attributes but shifted data variables.

Return type
