Research direction

Start by reading the xgriddedaxis project and the 17-comment discussion on this issue to understand the proposed cell-boundary-aware operations and whether they fit cf-xarray. No repository files or tests are named; the work is complete only once the scope and expected behavior for cf-xarray are agreed.

Description

opinion wanted

For the last few months, I've been working on xgriddedaxis, a tool for working with one-dimensional axes with their respective cell boundaries information. xgriddedaxis was motivated by the fact that xarray is not aware of cell boundary variables when performing operations such as resampling along the time coordinate. The main objective of xgriddedaxis is to provide a set of utilities that enables fluid translation between data at different intervals while being aware of the cell boundary variables.

Is this something that falls within cf-xarray's scope? If so, I am happy to help out with the implementation for this in cf-xarray.
