Suggestion: no whitespace in names of downloadable files

[sadielbartholomew]

Description of the problem

When clicking to download any of the downloaded content for a given configuration of the options available on the Interactive Atlas, the filename saved to disk is in a form similar to <dataset> - <variable> - <period> - <season> (<model details>).<extention e.g. .nc or .tiff or .png>, which seems to be the title shown at the foot of the plot. For example, CMIP6 - Sea ice concentration _ - 1995-2014 - Annual (28 models).tiff.

The inclusion of all the contextual data is useful, but having it space-delimited is difficult for Linux users, where it is recommended that file system content does not have spaces in names (related to CLI commands being space delimited and how they can therefore require escaping or attract bugs for that reason). Of course one can change the name to remove the spaces, but since there are many due to the numerous contextual components of the name it takes a while to do manually (I ended up constructing a command to save the time and effort).

So, to improve ease of use and so that the name doesn't form an initial barrier, I am requesting a means to download the files without spaces in. Underscores would be a good alternative as a delimiter e.g. <dataset>_<variable>_<period> <season>_(<model details>).<extention e.g. .nc or .tiff or .png>, or just removing the whitespace around the existing - delimiters, to separate the content descriptors out.

To Reproduce

Download a file, any of the netCDF dataset, TIFF or PNG image corresponding to the displayed configuration, using the Interactive Atlas and view the downloaded name.
