CFVariableRegistry.alias

CFVariableRegistry.alias(*args)

Define alias(es) for an existing CFVariable. This can be useful for identifying dataset variables from a wide variety of sources that have empty standard_name attributes. The variable aliasing system was inspired by the robust unit aliasing system of pint.UnitRegistry.

Parameters

*args – Group of strings which should identically refer to the variable. At least one of these must match the canonical name, standard name, or existing alias of an existing variable.
