A python interface to UNIDATA’s Udunits-2 library with CF extensions
Store, combine and compare physical units and convert numeric values to different units.
Units are as defined in UNIDATA’s Udunits-2 library, except for reference time units (such as 'days since 2000-12-1' in the 'proleptic_gregorian' calendar), which are handled by the netCDF4 python package.
In addition, some units are either new to, modified from, or removed from the standard Udunits-2 database in order to be more consistent with the CF conventions.
