At the moment I have no problem with the memory overload really. I just would like to understand if I am implementing the proposed CF way properly. Can you confirm me that in the above example with 2 stations of interest for the temperature variable (from 100) I am right in creating a variable with timeSize*100 instead of timeSize*2, which brings an 80% of 0.0 values of overload? Where overload here really means never used. And if yes, should those unused values stay 0.0 or be somehow flagged? I would love to do this the CF way and I am just wondering if someone stumbled into this doubt also.
