Description
These changes are being requested to improve the ease-of-access of CESM data and to normalize the look of the metadata across CESM components. See ESCOMP/CESM#194 and especially the google doc referenced from ESCOMP/CESM#194 (comment).
Current time array output:
double time(time) ;
time:long_name = "time" ;
time:units = "days since YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" ;
time:calendar = "noleap" ;
time:bounds = "time_bounds" ;
double time_bounds(time, hist_interval) ;
time_bounds:long_name = "history time interval endpoints" ;
Proposed time array output:
double time(time) ;
time:long_name = "time" ;
time:units = "days since YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" ;
time:calendar = "noleap" ;
time:bounds = "time_bounds" ;
double time_bounds(time, nbnd) ;
time_bounds:long_name = "time interval endpoints" ;
time_bounds:units = "days since 2015-01-01 00:00:00" ;
time_bounds:calendar = "noleap" ;
Changes made: add units/calendar attributes to time_bounds, modify time_bounds@long_name, change 2nd dimension name of time_bounds to nbnd.
