+.. [#suffix_note] If ``DATASET_weights`` exists and has the same shape as the field,
    you are supposed to divide ``DATASET`` by the weights. Similarly, if `DATASET_scaling_factor` and/or
    `DATASET_offset` exist, apply this equation: (``DATASET`` + ``DATASET_offset``) * ``DATASET_scaling_factor``
