   Bases: :py:obj:`opendrift.readers.basereader.BaseReader`, :py:obj:`opendrift.readers.basereader.ContinuousReader`

   An abstract reader. Implementors provide a method to read data and specify how it is interpolated.

   This class inherits :class:`.variables.Variables` which inherits :class:`.variables.ReaderDomain`. `ReaderDomain` is responsible for the extent and domain of the reader, including checking for out-of-bounds and projection conversion. `Variables` is responsible for returning interpolated data at the requests positions or profiles. Apart from coercing the returned data into the right type for :py:mod:`opendrift.models.basemodel`, it defines the abstract interface to :meth:`.variables.Variables._get_variables_interpolated_` which reader-implementations must provide (_usually_ through one of the main reader-types, see: :py:mod:`opendrift.readers`).

   .. seealso::

       :py:mod:`.variables`.

   Reconstruct currents from time series of drifter positions

   .. py:attribute:: variables
      :value: ['x_sea_water_velocity', 'y_sea_water_velocity']

      

   .. py:method:: get_variables(requested_variables, time=None, x=None, y=None, z=None)

      Obtain and return values of the requested variables at all positions
      (x, y, z) closest to given time.

      Returns:

          Dictionary with arrays of length len(x) with values at exact positions x, y and z.
