Do FieldPerps not have any identifying features other than their literal dimensions? Like an attributes flag?

FieldPerp
s do have an attributeyindex_global
which other fields don't have, but I think at the moment the convention for identifyingField3D
,Field2D
,FieldPerp
in netCDF files is by their dimensions. In the current setup this is unambiguous; are you thinking it'll cause problems when adding 'physical' coordinates, etc.? It would be easy to add an attribute likebout_type
- this is already done in BOUT++ for the HDF5 input/output because HDF5 variables don't have dimensions that we could use to identify them.There was a problem hiding this comment.
