cf.FieldAncillary

class cf.FieldAncillary(properties={}, attributes=None, data=None, source=None, copy=True)

Bases: cf.variable.Variable

A CF field ancillary construct.

Initialization

Parameters:

properties: dict, optional

Initialize CF properties from the dictionary’s key/value pairs.

attributes: dict, optional

Provide attributes from the dictionary’s key/value pairs.

data: cf.Data, optional

Provide a data array.

source: cf.{+Variable}, optional

Take the attributes, CF properties and data array from the source {+variable}. Any attributes, CF properties or data array specified with other parameters are set after initialisation from the source {+variable}.

copy: bool, optional

If False then do not deep copy arguments prior to initialization. By default arguments are deep copied.
