DimensionCoordinate.identities()[source]

Return all possible identities.

The identities comprise:

  • The standard_name property.

  • All properties, preceded by the property name and a colon, e.g. 'long_name:Air temperature'.

  • The netCDF variable name, preceded by 'ncvar%'.

  • The identities of the bounds, if any.
