Rename the function that loads input data

Question

Rename the function that loads input data

Datseris opened this issue 4 years ago · 2 comments

At the moment input data are loaded with a function called ClimArray. This is not a good design idea. ClimArray should be reserved exclusively for the constructor.

What is a better name for a function that directly loads .nc data and outputs them as a ClimArray?

Perhaps something that follows FileIO.jl?

Good idea, however I think that FileIO is really for disk-to-memory direct things, so NCDatasets.jl should be using that interface. We could use ncread and ncwrite though as the names here!
