The return period netCDFs are generated with the variable named rp.5, rp.20, or rp.50, depending on the return period. These variable names aren't very informative for climate explorer users, since a user selecting rp.20 doesn't know if they're going to see a 20 year precipitation, maximum temperature, or minimum temperature event.
This script checks the attributes of each netCDF variable and renames the variables something like rp5tasmax, rp20tasmin, or rp50pr to make the contents of each dataset clearer to users.
