cf.Data.array

Data.array

A numpy array copy the data array.

Note

If the data array is stored as date-time objects then a numpy array of numeric reference times will be returned. A numpy array of date-time objects may be returned by the datetime_array attribute.

Examples:

>>> d = cf.Data([1, 2, 3.0], 'km')
>>> a = d.array
>>> isinstance(a, numpy.ndarray)
True
>>> print(a)
[ 1.  2.  3.]
>>> d[0] = -99
>>> print(a[0])
1.0
>>> a[0] = 88
>>> print(d[0])
-99.0 km
