I agree units should be set to "1" and I am currently in the process of
fixing the error in the CF Checker.

Cristina,
I recommend the unit "1" for that use.
If the CF checker doesn't like that unit, then it should be fixed,
IMO, because that unit is supported by both the US NIST and the BIPM.

Dear Roy,
Our variable "chlorophyll count" as is understandable by CF is the
number of individual measurements used to determine a chlorophyll value.
I do need to know what to put at "units" attribute for that variable.
I undestood by the CF convention 1.4 (appendix C) that I have to put
"units="1" as the chlorophyll count is a dimensionless variable...but
the CF checker found it as an error.
I try not to put the Unit attribute ...but again i get an error by che
cf chcker.......so.....
my question is: what unit shoudl I set for my chlorophyll count
variable?
thanks for your help.
