#74: Allow sharing of ancillary variables among multiple data variables ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: [email protected] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: "ancillary data" "standard name modifiers" ---------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Comment (by russ): I support this enhancement, except that I wonder if the last phrase in the last sentence could be misinterpreted to limit the use of this enhancement unnecessarily. Specifically, I would like to see the last sentence This second form permits a single variable to provide ancillary data (see section 3.4) for two or more variables where each has a unique standard name. clarified and simplified to say This second form permits a single variable to provide ancillary data (see section 3.4) for variables that have a standard_name attribute. This would permit multiple variables that have the same standard_name attribute to share the same ancillary variable, as could happen, for example, for different sensors measuring the same physical quantity at the same points for calibration or for sensors with overlapping ranges of application. --Russ -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/74#comment:14> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
