Missing Netcdf metadata

[dpabon]

YAXArrays v0.3.0
Julia 1.7.3

When using open_dataset() the metadata (e.g. long variable name, units, etc) can not be accessed anymore.

sim_cube_path = "/Net/Groups/BGI/people/awinkler/share/Historical-LandUse_CMIP6.nc"

sim_cube = open_dataset(sim_cube_path)

Produce:

YAXArray Dataset
Dimensions: 
   simulation          Axis with 2 elements: historical hist-noLu 
   lat                 Axis with 382 Elements from -90.0 to 90.0
   model               Axis with 1 elements: CESM2 
   lon                 Axis with 288 Elements from 0.0 to 358.75
   time                Axis with 3600 Elements from 1850-01-31T00:00:00 to 2149-12-31T00:00:00
Variables: rsdscs hfls clt hurs rldscs rlut evspsbl rsuscs rsut ts rlds psl tran hfss lai rsdt mrso sfcWind rsutcs grassFrac treeFrac rlutcs tas rlus rsus rsds mrsos

Is there a way to access the description of the variables directly from Julia?

pd. An option to pass missing values could be useful, e.g. open_dataset(sim_cube, missing = 1.e+20f)

Did you try with sim_cube.hurs.properties ?

Actually, with

YAXArrays v0.4.5 works!! Maybe it was fixed at some point and I didn't notice it.

using NetCDF, YAXArrays
sim_cube_path = "/Net/Groups/BGI/people/awinkler/share/Historical-LandUse_CMIP6.nc"

sim_cube = open_dataset(sim_cube_path)

for (i, j) in sim_cube.hurs.properties
    println(i, " => ", j)
end
