#104: Clarify the interpretation of scalar coordinate variables -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: jonathan | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: medium | Milestone: Component: cf-conventions | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by caron): Im pondering the relationship of coordinate (regular or auxiliary) variables to the concepts of dependence and independence. This may be very worthwhile to figure this out, though i dont think the conventions as they stand are clear. 1. Is there a clear definition of dependence and independence that can be used in this context? 2. I cant think of any counterexamples to the notion that a coordinate variable represents an independent variable. But there are some auxilary coordinate variables that im not sure are dependent variables, namely: 2.1 2D coordinate lat(x,y) and lon(x,y) are auxiliary coordinates, but it seems that they could be considered independent. Especially when the x(x) and y(y) coordinates are missing. 2.2 Are discrete sampling coordinates lat(sample) and lon(sample) dependent or independent? -- Ticket URL: <https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/104#comment:30> CF Metadata <http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/> CF Metadata This message came from the CF Trac system.
