Re: why the variable loses its attributes after concatenating in the time dimension?

SUN Xuguang,

Unfortunately, the "addfiles" function does not retain metadaa
information. This is currently on our list of things to look into.

The "addfile" and "addfiles" functions are two very different
functions and return different types of variables. "addfiles" returns
a "List" type, which doesn't have the concept of being able to
retain metadata from a file.

However, you can use the "addfiles_GetVar" function to retrieve a
variable from the file and have metadata attached for you. Please see:
