# xarray.Variable.compute

`Variable.``compute`(**kwargs)

  Manually trigger loading of this variable’s data from disk or a remote source into memory and return a new variable. The original is left unaltered.

  Normally, it should not be necessary to call this method in user code, because all xarray functions should either work on deferred data or load data automatically.

  Parameters: | **kwargs (dict) – Additional keyword arguments passed on to `dask.array.compute`.
