3.2. Default CF variables and axesΒΆ
Here are the specifications of the variables and axes managed by the
vacumm.data.cf module.
They are used to search for and format variables.
New variables and axes can be registered by calling
register_cf_variable(),
register_cf_variables_from_cfg(),
register_cf_axis() or
register_cf_axes_from_cfg().
