+            ``YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss`` format. Data will be loaded inclusive of the start and finish times.
+            A ``None`` value in the range indicates an open range, with the provided date serving as either the
+            upper or lower bound. E.g::
 
                 time=('2000-01-01', '2001-12-31')

             For 3D datasets, where the product definition contains an ``extra_dimension`` specification,
             these dimensions can be queried using that dimension's name. E.g.::
