Make it easy to extract coords as separate cubes, and the reverse "injection"

Open pp-mo opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Motivating examples:

  • "get the altitude as an altitude cube"
  • "add the data-quality array as an aux-coord".

Actually, this should almost certainly apply to other multidimensional cube components, not just coords. I.E. cell-measures + ancillaries as well. ( cf. https://github.com/SciTools/iris/pull/3600, which proposes similar extensions to iris.util.new_axis )

See reference code ideas in : https://github.com/pp-mo/iris/pull/61


This idea was originally pushed as a WIP PR : https://github.com/SciTools/iris/pull/3485 , but that was confusing. So, now it's an issue instead.

This is still of interest and we believe there is enough demand to justify doing some work on this.
