DataArray.cf.differentiate(coord, *xr_args, positive_upward=False, **xr_kwargs)¶

Differentiate an xarray object.

Parameters:

coordHashable: The coordinate used to compute the gradient.
positive_upwardoptional, bool: Change sign of the derivative based on the "positive" attribute of coord so that positive values indicate increasing upward. If positive=="down", then multiplied by -1.

Returns:

DataArray or Dataset: Differentiated object.
