Usage

nc.get.climatology.bounds.var.list(f)

Value

Details

The CF metadata convention defines a climatology attribute which can be applied to a time axis to indicate that the data is climatological in nature; the value of this attribute is the name of another variable in the file which defines the bounds of each climatological time period. This function returns the names of any climatology bounds variables found in a file.
