Parameters:

other : Dataset or castable to Dataset

Variables with which to update this dataset. One of:

  • Dataset
  • mapping {var name: DataArray}
  • mapping {var name: Variable}
  • mapping {var name: (dimension name, array-like)}
  • mapping {var name: (tuple of dimension names, array-like)}

inplace : bool, optional

If True, merge the other dataset into this dataset in-place. Otherwise, return a new dataset object.

Returns:

updated : Dataset
