#86: Allow coordinate variables to be scaled integers ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: coordinate variables, scaled inetegers ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by Dave.Allured): Randy, Thank you for the link to the original discussion, that was helpful. My concerns about existing software were already mentioned 11 months ago by Jonathan Gregory and Mike Grant. Common libraries or tools that do not unpack coordinates automatically include netcdf-fortran, NCL, and NCO utilities, as well as netcdf-C which was mentioned earlier. If you could somehow include a caveat that packed coordinates should only be used for particular applications with significant file size improvement, there might be fewer user cases needing code updates. The previously mentioned swath data is an example. --Dave -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/86#comment:6> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
