cf.Field


class cf.Field(properties=None, source=None, copy=True, _use_data=True)[source]

Bases: cf.mixin.fielddomain.FieldDomain, cf.mixin.propertiesdata.PropertiesData, cfdm.field.Field

A field construct of the CF data model.

The field construct is central to the CF data model, and includes all the other constructs. A field corresponds to a CF-netCDF data variable with all of its metadata. All CF-netCDF elements are mapped to a field construct or some element of the CF field construct. The field construct contains all the data and metadata which can be extracted from the file using the CF conventions.

The field construct consists of a data array and the definition of its domain (that describes the locations of each cell of the data array), field ancillary constructs containing metadata defined over the same domain, and cell method constructs to describe how the cell values represent the variation of the physical quantity within the cells of the domain. The domain is defined collectively by the following constructs of the CF data model: domain axis, dimension coordinate, auxiliary coordinate, cell measure, coordinate reference and domain ancillary constructs.

The field construct also has optional properties to describe aspects of the data that are independent of the domain. These correspond to some netCDF attributes of variables (e.g. units, long_name and standard_name), and some netCDF global file attributes (e.g. history and institution).

NetCDF interface

The netCDF variable name may be accessed with the nc_set_variable, nc_get_variable, nc_del_variable, and nc_has_variable methods.

The netCDF variable group structure may be accessed with the nc_set_variable, nc_get_variable, nc_variable_groups, nc_clear_variable_groups, and nc_set_variable_groups methods.

The selection of properties to be written as netCDF global attributes may be accessed with the nc_global_attributes, nc_clear_global_attributes, and nc_set_global_attribute methods.

The netCDF group attributes may be accessed with the nc_group_attributes, nc_clear_group_attributes, nc_set_group_attribute, and nc_set_group_attributes methods.

The netCDF geometry variable name and group structure may be accessed with the nc_set_geometry_variable, nc_get_geometry_variable, nc_geometry_variable_groups, nc_clear_variable_groups, and nc_set_geometry_variable_groups methods.

Some components exist within multiple constructs, but when written to a netCDF dataset the netCDF names associated with such components will be arbitrarily taken from one of them. The netCDF variable, dimension and sample dimension names and group structures for such components may be set or removed consistently across all such components with the nc_del_component_variable, nc_set_component_variable, nc_set_component_variable_groups, nc_clear_component_variable_groups, nc_del_component_dimension, nc_set_component_dimension, nc_set_component_dimension_groups, nc_clear_component_dimension_groups, nc_del_component_sample_dimension, nc_set_component_sample_dimension, nc_set_component_sample_dimension_groups, nc_clear_component_sample_dimension_groups methods.

CF-compliance issues for field constructs read from a netCDF dataset may be accessed with the dataset_compliance method.

Initialisation

Parameters
properties: dict, optional

Set descriptive properties. The dictionary keys are property names, with corresponding values. Ignored if the source parameter is set.

Parameter example:

properties={'standard_name': 'air_temperature'}

Properties may also be set after initialisation with the set_properties and set_property methods.

source: optional

Convert source, which can be any type of object, to a Field instance.

All other parameters, apart from copy, are ignored and their values are instead inferred from source by assuming that it has the Field API. Any parameters that can not be retrieved from source in this way are assumed to have their default value.

Note that if x is also a Field instance then cf.Field(source=x) is equivalent to x.copy().

copy: bool, optional

If True (the default) then deep copy the input parameters prior to initialisation. By default the parameters are not deep copied.
