Parameters:

item : cf.AuxiliaryCoordinate or cf.Coordinate or cf.DimensionCoordinate

The new auxiliary coordinate object. If it is not already a auxiliary coordinate object then it will be converted to one.

key : str, optional

The domain identifier for the item. By default a new, unique identifier will be generated.

axes : sequence of str, optional

The ordered list of axes for the item. Each axis is given by its domain identifier. By default the axes are assumed to be 'dim0' up to 'dimM-1', where M-1 is the number of axes spanned by the item.

copy: bool, optional

If False then the item is not copied before insertion. By default it is copied.
