class cf.CoordinateConversion(parameters=None, domain_ancillaries=None, source=None, copy=True)

Bases: cfdm.coordinateconversion.CoordinateConversion

A coordinate conversion component of a coordinate reference construct of the CF data model.

A coordinate conversion formula converting coordinate values taken from the dimension or auxiliary coordinate constructs to a different coordinate system. A term of the conversion formula can be a scalar or vector parameter which does not depend on any domain axis constructs, may have units, or may be a descriptive string (such as the projection name “mercator”), or it can be a reference to a domain ancillary construct (such as one containing spatially varying orography data). A coordinate reference construct relates the coordinate values of the field to locations in a planetary reference frame.

New in version 3.0.0.

Initialization

Parameters

parameters: dict, optional

Set parameters. The dictionary keys are term names, with corresponding parameter values. Ignored if the source parameter is set.

Parameters may also be set after initialisation with the set_parameters and set_parameter methods.

Parameter example:

parameters={'earth_radius': 6371007.}

domain_ancillaries: dict, optional

Set references to domain ancillary constructs. The dictionary keys are term names, with corresponding domain ancillary construct keys. Ignored if the source parameter is set.

Domain ancillaries may also be set after initialisation with the set_domain_ancillaries and set_domain_ancillary methods.

Parameter example:

domain_ancillaries={'orog': 'domainancillary2'}

source: optional

Initialize the parameters and domain ancillary terms from those of source.

copy: bool, optional

If False then do not deep copy input parameters prior to initialization. By default arguments are deep copied.
