Methods Documentation

__init__()[source]#
check_acknowledgment(ds)[source]#

Check if acknowledgment/acknowledgment attribute is present. Because acknowledgement has its own check, we are keeping it out of the Global Attributes (even though it is a Global Attr).

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_high(ds)[source]#

Performs a check on each highly recommended attributes’ existence in the dataset

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_lat_extents(ds)[source]#

Check that the values of geospatial_lat_min/geospatial_lat_max approximately match the data.

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_lon_extents(ds)[source]#

Check that the values of geospatial_lon_min/geospatial_lon_max approximately match the data.

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

Performs a check on each recommended attributes’ existence in the dataset

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_suggested(ds)[source]#

Performs a check on each suggested attributes’ existence in the dataset

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_time_extents(ds)[source]#

Check that the values of time_coverage_start/time_coverage_end approximately match the data.

check_var_long_name(ds)[source]#

Checks each applicable variable for the long_name attribute

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_var_standard_name(ds)[source]#

Checks each applicable variable for the standard_name attribute

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_var_units(ds)[source]#

Checks each applicable variable for the units attribute

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

check_vertical_extents(ds)[source]#

Check that the values of geospatial_vertical_min/geospatial_vertical_max approximately match the data.

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

get_applicable_variables(ds)[source]#

Returns a list of variable names that are applicable to ACDD Metadata Checks for variables. This includes geophysical and coordinate variables only.

Parameters:

ds (netCDF4.Dataset) – An open netCDF dataset

get_test_ctx(severity, name, variable=None)#

Creates an existing TestCtx object in _defined_results dict if it does not exist for the current checker instance, or an returns the existing TestCtx for modification. Takes a severity level and name and uses the two element tuple formed by the arguments as a key into the dict.

Parameters:
  • severity (int) – A BaseCheck severity level

  • name (str) – The name of the check

Rtype compliance_checker.base.TestCtx:

Returns:

A new or or existing TestCtx instance taken from this instance’s _defined_results dict
