time_counter_bnds

[aclsce]

Is it possible to have time_counter_bnds variable in XIOS output file in order to have something similar to :

double time_counter(time_counter) ;

time_counter:axis = "T" ;
time_counter:standard_name = "time" ;
time_counter:units = "seconds since 1850-01-01 00:00:00" ;
time_counter:calendar = "noleap" ;
time_counter:title = "Time" ;
time_counter:long_name = "Time axis" ;
time_counter:time_origin = " 1850-JAN-01 00:00:00" ;
time_counter:bounds = "time_counter_bnds" ;

double time_counter_bnds(time_counter, tbnds) ;

with :

time_counter = 43200, 129600, 216000, 302400, 388800 ;

}

time_counter_bnds =

0, 86400,
86400, 172800,
172800, 259200,
259200, 345600,
345600, 432000 ;

}

Thanks !

In output file, the variable time_xxx_bounds (xxx: counter, instant or centered) corresponds to the attribute: time_xxx:bounds; , a new dimension time_bounds is added with size 2.
