#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 [email protected]): Folks: I have spent some time thinking about how to use (and possibly extend the CF standard) for space weather products, which essentially boil down to data sets derived from sensors with one or more apertures looking off into outer space. As a result, these use cases need 3 dimensional vectors. In the case of the more structure approach, the conventions will need to specifically include support for 3D vectors. But this alone does not completely solve my problem. These space weather product vectors also have a 3D field of view around the sensor aperture's boresight that need to be captured. With the more structured approach, additional vector component conventions will need to be captured. The point here is that the more structured approach is likely to be enhanced/tweaked repeatedly, if not on an on-going basis, moving forward. Thus, the stability of the conventions is enhanced (not to mention the rate in which progress can be achieved by data producers) with the simpler, less structured approach moving forward. very respectfully, randy -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/79#comment:67> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
