# xarray.concat

`xarray.``concat`(objs, dim=None, data_vars='all', coords='different', compat='equals', positions=None, indexers=None, mode=None, concat_over=None)

  Concatenate xarray objects along a new or existing dimension.

  Parameters:

  objs : sequence of Dataset and DataArray objects

  > xarray objects to concatenate together. Each object is expected to consist of variables and coordinates with matching shapes except for along the concatenated dimension.

  dim : str or DataArray or pandas.Index

  > Name of the dimension to concatenate along. This can either be a new dimension name, in which case it is added along axis=0, or an existing dimension name, in which case the location of the dimension is unchanged. If dimension is provided as a DataArray or Index, its name is used as the dimension to concatenate along and the values are added as a coordinate.

  data_vars : {‘minimal’, ‘different’, ‘all’ or list of str}, optional

  > These data variables will be concatenated together:
  >   - ‘minimal’: Only data variables in which the dimension already appears are included.
  >   - ‘different’: Data variables which are not equal (ignoring attributes) across all datasets are also concatenated (as well as all for which dimension already appears). Beware: this option may load the data payload of data variables into memory if they are not already loaded.
  >   - ‘all’: All data variables will be concatenated.
  >   - list of str: The listed data variables will be concatenated, in addition to the ‘minimal’ data variables.

  > If objects are DataArrays, data_vars must be ‘all’.

  coords : {‘minimal’, ‘different’, ‘all’ o list of str}, optional

  > These coordinate variables will be concatenated together:
  >   - ‘minimal’: Only coordinates in which the dimension already appears are included.
  >   - ‘different’: Coordinates which are not equal (ignoring attributes) across all datasets are also concatenated (as well as all for which dimension already appears). Beware: this option may load the data payload of coordinate variables into memory if they are not already loaded.
  >   - ‘all’: All coordinate variables will be concatenated, except those corresponding to other dimensions.
  >   - list of str: The listed coordinate variables will be concatenated, in addition the ‘minimal’ coordinates.

  compat : {‘equals’, ‘identical’}, optional

  > String indicating how to compare non-concatenated variables and dataset global attributes for potential conflicts. ‘equals’ means that all variable values and dimensions must be the same; ‘identical’ means that variable attributes and global attributes must also be equal.

  positions : None or list of integer arrays, optional

  > List of integer arrays which specifies the integer positions to which to assign each dataset along the concatenated dimension. If not supplied, objects are concatenated in the provided order.

  indexers, mode, concat_over : deprecated

  Returns: | concatenated : type of objs
