Adding Climate and Forecasting (CF) metadata convention in to_netcdf #8

Closed pratiman-91 closed 3 years ago

pratiman-91 commented 4 years ago

New Feature to_netcdf must include the CF conventions. This will help to maintain the compatibility in other software.

Might be help at later stage.

Thanks for this awesome much needed suggestion. Now IMDLIB conforms CF-1.7 conventions. It has been added to the library using e6ac4fd6f266dcce12cb6138079d9b8e3ceb3911.
This modification is added at https://github.com/iamsaswata/imdlib/blob/f346a8efe99864ae0e4aad83217ee8f45c2e5fc1/imdlib/core.py#L131-L177

IMDLIB now also support latest pyproj CRS conventions too. So, using rioxarray with IMDLIB is very consistent now.

Output of ncdum -h info on the generated netCDF is shown at IMDLIB doc.

Final CF checking is also done using pumatest and result is show here. cf_convention
