This function downloads the dataset from the GMT data server, caches it in a user
data directory (usually ``~/.gmt/server/earth/earth_mag/``,
``~/.gmt/server/earth/earth_mag4km/``, ``~/.gmt/server/earth/earth_wdmam/``), and
load the dataset as an :class:`xarray.DataArray`. An internet connection is required
the first time around, but subsequent calls will load the dataset from the local
data directory.
The dataset can also be accessed by specifying a file name in any grid processing
function or plotting method, using the following file name format:
**@**\ *earth_mag_type*\_\ *res*\_\ *reg*. *earth_mag_type* is the GMT name for the
dataset. The available options are **earth_mag**, **earth_mag4km**, and
**earth_wdmam**; *res* is the grid resolution; *reg* is the grid
registration type (**p** for pixel registration, **g** for gridline registration).
If *reg* is omitted (e.g., ``@earth_mag_01d``), the gridline-registered grid will be
loaded for grid processing functions and the pixel-registered grid will be loaded
for plotting functions. If *res* is also omitted (i.e., ``@earth_mag``), GMT
automatically selects a suitable resolution based on the current region and
projection settings.
The default color palette tables (CPTs) for this dataset are ``@earth_mag.cpt`` for
``data_source="emag2"`` and ``data_source="emag2_4km"``, and ``@earth_wdmam.cpt``
for ``data_source="wdmam"``. To use the dataset-specific CPT when plotting the
dataset, explicitly set ``cmap="@earth_mag.cpt"`` or ``cmap="@earth_wdmam.cpt"``,
otherwise GMT's default CPT (*turbo*) will be used. If the dataset is referenced by
the file name in a grid plotting method, the dataset-specific CPT file is used
automatically unless another CPT is specified.
Refer to :gmt-datasets:`earth-mag.html` and :gmt-datasets:`earth-wdmam.html` for
more details about available datasets, including version information and references.
Parameters
----------
resolution
The grid resolution. The suffix ``d`` and ``m`` stand for arc-degrees and
arc-minutes. The resolution ``"02m"`` is not available for
``data_source="wdmam"``.
region
The subregion of the grid to load, in the form of a sequence [*xmin*, *xmax*,
*ymin*, *ymax*] or an ISO country code. Required for grids with resolutions
higher than 5 arc-minutes (i.e., ``"05m"``).
registration
Grid registration type. Either ``"pixel"`` for pixel registration or
``"gridline"`` for gridline registration. Default is ``None``, which means
``"gridline"`` for all resolutions except ``"02m"`` for
``data_source="emag2"`` or ``data_source="emag2_4km"``, which are ``"pixel"``
only.
data_source
Select the source of the magnetic anomaly data. Available options are:
- ``"emag2"``: EMAG2 Earth Magnetic Anomaly Model. It only includes
data observed at sea level over oceanic regions.
See :gmt-datasets:`earth-mag.html`.
- ``"emag2_4km"``: Use a version of EMAG2 where all observations
are relative to an altitude of 4 km above the geoid and include
data over land.
- ``"wdmam"``: World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map (WDMAM).
See :gmt-datasets:`earth-wdmam.html`.
Returns
-------
grid
The Earth magnetic anomaly grid. Coordinates are latitude and
longitude in degrees. Units are in nano Tesla (nT).
Note
----
The registration and coordinate system type of the returned
:class:`xarray.DataArray` grid can be accessed via the GMT accessors
(i.e., ``grid.gmt.registration`` and ``grid.gmt.gtype`` respectively).
However, these properties may be lost after specific grid operations (such
as slicing) and will need to be manually set before passing the grid to any
PyGMT data processing or plotting functions. Refer to
:class:`pygmt.GMTDataArrayAccessor` for detailed explanations and
workarounds.
Examples
--------
>>> from pygmt.datasets import load_earth_magnetic_anomaly
>>> # Load the default grid (gridline-registered 1 arc-degree grid)
>>> grid = load_earth_magnetic_anomaly()
>>> # Load the 30 arc-minutes grid with "gridline" registration
>>> grid = load_earth_magnetic_anomaly(resolution="30m", registration="gridline")
>>> # Load high-resolution (5 arc-minutes) grid for a specific region
>>> grid = load_earth_magnetic_anomaly(
... resolution="05m",
... region=[120, 160, 30, 60],
... registration="gridline",
... )
>>> # Load the 20 arc-minutes grid of the emag2_4km dataset
>>> grid = load_earth_magnetic_anomaly(
... resolution="20m", registration="gridline", data_source="emag2_4km"
... )
>>> # Load the 20 arc-minutes grid of the WDMAM dataset
>>> grid = load_earth_magnetic_anomaly(
... resolution="20m", registration="gridline", data_source="wdmam"
