Dear Rosalyn,
thanks so much for your reply and your works that is so important for me. Infact "my" data are produced within MYOCEAN (european) project and thay are going to test them! so it is important they do not failed the CF checker test.

Best regards.

cristina

p.s.
Sorry if sometime I miss some e-mails and I didin't answer to them. This is a very caotic working time....and I'm receiving so many e-mails.

Thanks to all the cf-metadata group to their help!

Citando Rosalyn Hatcher <r.s.hatc...@reading.ac.uk>:

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

Regards,
Ros.

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.
