[Feature]: Consider generating new time bounds after temporal averaging
Is your feature request related to a problem?
Related to #529 opened by @pochedls
Scenario A (xcdat v0.5.0 + xarray >=v2023.3.0)
This scenario affects xcdat v0.5.0 (regardless of xarray version). In this issue, xcdat does not create time_bounds for annually averaged data.
fn = '/p/css03/esgf_publish/CMIP6/CMIP/NCAR/CESM2/amip/r1i1p1f1/Amon/tas/gn/v20190218/tas_Amon_CESM2_amip_r1i1p1f1_gn_195001-201412.nc' ds = xc.open_dataset(fn) print('Time bounds in dataset: ', 'time_bnds' in ds.variables) ds = ds.temporal.group_average('tas', freq='year') print('Time bounds in dataset after taking annual average: ', 'time_bnds' in ds.variables)Time bounds in dataset: True Time bounds in dataset after taking annual average: False
Describe the solution you'd like
We can try detecting how the original bounds were generated (midpoint or freq) then recreate them internally after grouping averaging.
