cfdm.Field.cell_methods

Field.cell_methods()

Return cell method constructs.

The cell methods are not returned in the order in which they were applied. To achieve this use the ordered of the returned Constructs instance.

New in version 1.7.0.

>>> f.cell_methods
Constructs:
{}

>>> f.cell_methods
Constructs:
{'cellmethod1': <CellMethod: domainaxis1: domainaxis2: mean where land (interval: 0.1 degrees)>,
 'cellmethod0': <CellMethod: domainaxis3: maximum>}

>>> f.cell_methods.ordered()
OrderedDict([('cellmethod0', <CellMethod: domainaxis1: domainaxis2: mean where land (interval: 0.1 degrees)>),
             ('cellmethod1', <CellMethod: domainaxis3: maximum>)])
