Hello All, Section 2.6.3, External Variables, of version 1.7 of the standard contains the statement that:"The only CF standard attribute which is allowed to refer to external variables is cell_measures."
I believe this is stronger than intended: it should be possible, for instance, to refer to external variables in the comment and history attributes, and any other free text attribute, or the comment part of the cell_methods string. Should it say something along the lines of: "The only attribute which is allowed to make a CF standard reference to external variables is cell_measures"? regards, Martin _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list CF-metadata@cgd.ucar.edu http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
