cf.DomainAncillary.scale_factor

DomainAncillary.scale_factor()

The scale_factor CF property.

If present then the data are divided by this factor prior to it being written to a file. If both scale_factor and add_offset properties are present, the offset is subtracted before the data are scaled. See http://cfconventions.org/latest.html for details.

Examples:

>>> f.scale_factor = 10.0
>>> f.scale_factor
10.0
>>> del f.scale_factor

>>> f.setprop('scale_factor', 10.0)
>>> f.getprop('scale_factor')
10.0
>>> f.delprop('scale_factor')
