cf.AuxiliaryCoordinate.identities

AuxiliaryCoordinate.identities()[source]

Return all possible identities.

The identities comprise:

  • The “standard_name” property.

  • The “id” attribute, preceded by 'id%'.

  • The “cf_role” property, preceded by 'cf_role='.

  • The “axis” property, preceded by 'axis='.

  • The “long_name” property, preceded by 'long_name='.

  • All other properties (including “standard_name”), preceded by the property name and an '='.

  • The coordinate type ('X', 'Y', 'Z' or 'T').

  • The netCDF variable name, preceded by 'ncvar%'.

The identities of the bounds, if present, are included (with the exception of the bounds netCDF variable name).
