Description
Many NetCDF files encode a "time" dimension using the COARDS and CF conventions: define a datum and apply offsets to it. Given the complexity of the different calendars, tidync currently does not support time decoding and displays the bare offsets. By importing package CFtime support for offset decoding into an intelligible time representation is now possible.
The main changes are in
hyper_transforms.R
, where the offset decoding takes place, andhyper_array.R
, wheredimnames()
are assigned to the arrays as they are read from the NetCDF files. Further, minor changes are intidync.R
(exposing the attributes in thetidync
class) andhyper_tibble.R
(easier population of dimension name columns).Related Issue
