Hi Andrew:
You can use a dimension=1 instead of a scalar.
OK, you mean if one used the vector method.
yes
But you cant use
lat(lat)
lon(lon)
time(time)
the correct usage in the single profile case would be:
lat(profile)
lon(profile)
time(profile)
So, do you mean in the vector method have this? (simpler I guess to
have common profile dimension = 1)
yes, you cant use incorrect dimensions, even when they are all = 1.
dimensions:
profile=1
pressure = 57
variables:
lat(profile)
lon(profile)
time(profile)
pressure(pressure)
temperature(pressure)
Instead of this?
Dimensions:
time=1
lat=1
lon=1
pressure=57
Variables:
time(time)
lat(lat)
lon(lon)
pressure(pressure)
temperature(pressure)
