#79: Handling and formatting of vector quantities in CF -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: lavergne | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: reopened Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: vector -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by davidhassell): Replying to [comment:59 lavergne]: > I support "container" when compared to "umbrella", but am still looking for a more generic term. Another idea that occurs to me, in the spirit of using existing functionality, might be to use the "cf_role" property, as is used for discrete sampling geometries. So your container variable could would have cf_role='vector'. Such a variable would then have vector_name='sea_ice_displacement'. A "vector_name" property in the absence of cf_role='vector' would not be treated in any special way. Or something like that?
