Parameters:: d (dict) – Mapping with a minimum structure of {"dims": [...], "data": [...]}
Returns:: obj (xarray.DataArray)

Examples

>>> d = {"dims": "t", "data": [1, 2, 3]}
>>> da = xr.DataArray.from_dict(d)
>>> da
<xarray.DataArray (t: 3)> Size: 24B
array([1, 2, 3])
Dimensions without coordinates: t

>>> d = {
...  "coords": {
...  "t": {"dims": "t", "data": [0, 1, 2], "attrs": {"units": "s"}}
...  },
...  "attrs": {"title": "air temperature"},
...  "dims": "t",
...  "data": [10, 20, 30],
...  "name": "a",
... }
>>> da = xr.DataArray.from_dict(d)
>>> da
<xarray.DataArray 'a' (t: 3)> Size: 24B
array([10, 20, 30])
