To display a Data array from xarray using pyGMT's plotting function, follow these steps:

  1. Import the necessary libraries:
import pygmt
import xarray as xr
  1. Load the dataset from xarray:
ds = xr.open_dataset('data.nc')
  1. Get the Data array from the dataset:
data_array = ds['data_variable']
  1. Set the region and projection for the plot:
region = [xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax]
projection = 'your_projection_here'
  1. Create the figure using pyGMT:
fig = pygmt.Figure()
  1. Use the pygmt.grdimage() function to display the data array on the plot:
fig.grdimage(data_array, region=region, projection=projection, cmap='jet')
  1. Customize the plot as needed using pyGMT's other plotting functions.

  2. Show the plot:

fig.show()
