#100: Clarifications to the preamble of section 5 -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: jonathan | Owner: [email protected] Type: defect | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by jonathan): Dear all On the email list, Randy Horne has raised an [http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/pipermail/cf-metadata/2013/056410.html issue] of clarity regarding the use of non-spatiotemporal coordinates. Since that point is rather similar to others in this ticket, I'd like to add to the present proposal, to make changes in section 4, as follows: Delete the sentence, "Coordinate types other than latitude, longitude, vertical, and time are allowed" at the start of the third paragraph. Insert new text at the start of the section The commonest use of coordinate variables is to locate the data in space and time, but coordinates may be provided for any other continuous geophysical quantity (e.g. density, temperature, radiation wavelength, zenith angle of radiance, sea surface wave frequency) or discrete category (see Section 4.5, "Discrete axis", e.g. area type, model level number, ensemble member number) on which the data variable depends. continuing with the existing text, "Four types of coordinates ...".
