Dear CDS team,

where can I find more information on the <class 'cdsworkflows.remote.Remote'>? I got a variable of this class when retrieving data using the CDS Toolbox.

Several of the specific questions:

1) suppose I want to calculate a mean climate value for all the January's, Februaries ... in the dataset. It is easy to do using the slicing, but slicing is not defined for the class Remote.

I can, of course, try to set my retrieval process to download only Januaries for all my years, then Februaries. Then compute the statistics and merge resulting variables. But it is a slower way.

2) After applying some mathematical operations, the attribute "unit" has changed. It is used later by the plotting routine, cdstoolbox.chart.line, to name the y-axis. How can I change the "unit" for the Remote class or how can I specify the y-axis label in the chart.line function?

3) I would like to calculate a trend over the time dimension for my dataset( time=24, lat=720, lon=1440). After an hour, I had to stop the program because it was still running. Does the trend function has a limit for the input data size?

This is related to the first question of slicing. I tried specifying "area" in the data-request, but it doesn't crop my dataset.

data_trend = cdstoolbox.stats.trend(detrend, dim='time')

Kind regards,

Alex
