Description
After migrating to v1, the buffer argument in the get_rasterdataset argument works differently, which has very big consequences for the clipping/sliicing of the data. It seems that the buffer argument should be provided in meters, which in essence is more aligned with for exampe get_geodataframe, and not any longer in pixels. Nonetheless, providing "pixels" seems to be more user friendly.
For example, when you are using ERA5 data with 0.25 degrees resolution for a small SFINCS domain, the get_rasterdataset now only returns a dataset with length x=1, y=1, which is therefore no 2D raster anymore. Solution for this is to provide a buffer of 25km or so, to still get some surrounding points as well. In the old HydroMT, where we were using the "pixels" instead of "meters", a buffer of 2 pixels was always sufficient, independent on the data resolution.
I don't think there is a right or wrong here, but I was wondering whether this was designed as such on purpose or by accident.
