message_ix_models.model.transport.ldv.read_USTIMES_MA3T

message_ix_models.model.transport.ldv.read_USTIMES_MA3T(nodes: List[str], subdir=None) → Mapping[str, AnyQuantity][source]

Read the US-TIMES MA3T data from FILE.

No transformation is performed.

NB this function takes only simple arguments (nodes and subdir) so that cached() computes the same key every time to avoid the slow step of opening/ reading the large spreadsheet. get_USTIMES_MA3T() then conforms the data to particular context settings.

Data returned by this function is cached using cached(); see also SKIP_CACHE.
