Method Detail

getRunTimeAxis

CoordinateAxis1DTime getRunTimeAxis()

Get the RunTime axis. Must be 1 dimensional. A runtime coordinate must be a udunit date or ISO String, so it can always be converted to a Date. Typical meaning is the date that a Forecast Model Run is made.

Returns:

RunTime CoordinateAxis, may be null.

getTimeAxis

CoordinateAxis2D getTimeAxis()

Description copied from interface: CoverageCS

Get the Time axis, if it exists. May be 1 or 2 dimensional. If 1D, will be a CoordinateAxis1DTime. If 2D, then you can use getTimeAxisForRun(). A time coordinate must be a udunit date or ISO String, so it can always be converted to a Date. Typical meaning is the date of measurement or valid forecast time.

Specified by:

getTimeAxis in interface CoverageCS

Returns:

the time coordinate axis, may be null.

getTimeAxisForRun

CoordinateAxis1DTime getTimeAxisForRun(CalendarDate runTime)

This is the case of a 2D time axis, which depends on the run index. A time coordinate must be a udunit date or ISO String, so it can always be converted to a Date.

Parameters:

runTime - which run?

Returns:

1D time axis for that run.
