#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 [email protected]): Jonathan: Thanks for the clarification on the rules. I think your wording of the caveat is more clear. Here is the update. To update the CF metadata conventions standard document requires changing a two rows in Table A.1 Attributes in Appendix A. (1) In the "add_offset" row, the "Use" column needs to change from "D" to "C, D" (2) In the "scale_factor" row, the "Use" column needs to change from "D" to "C, D" In addition, the following statement will be added to the "Description" cell in Table A.1 Attributes for attributes scale_factor and add_offset. "In cases where there is a strong constraint on dataset size, it is allowed to pack the coordinate variables (using add_offset and/or scale_factor), but this is not recommended in general." very repspectfully, randy -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/86#comment:12> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
