The function level documentation states "...containing 2D fields such as precipitation and surface variables into a Dataset. \ The dataset can be spatially subset." If the file(s) you've picked satisfy that function description then it should be fine. Unless you tell me which file you've picked then it is impossible for me to tell.

Please think about how these coverage results can be more easily interpreted by the entire OCW team. Can we publish the results somewhere? Can these stats fit into a CI scenario?

As I sent you and the rest of the students, we are in community bonding phase. Your code contributions are greatly appreciated and we would highly encourage you to submit patches for anything you find.

The more correspondence, interaction and consensus you are able to reach with the OCW community the better.

For practical development issues we typically use Jira however in time you will find what works best for you. Thanks Lewis
