CF Section 8.2 compression by gathering has this example:
dimensions:
lat=73;
lon=96;
landpoint=2381;
depth=4;
variables:
int landpoint(landpoint);
landpoint:compress=lat lon;
float landsoilt(depth,landpoint);
landsoilt:long_name=soil temperature;
landsoilt:units=K;
Hi John,
I agree. The first version is incorrect.

One thing i forgot to mention, in the 5.3 example:
Example 5.3. Reduced horizontal grid
dimensions:
londim = 128 ;
latdim = 64 ;
rgrid = 6144 ;
variables:
float PS(rgrid) ;
PS:long_name = surface pressure ;
PS:units = Pa ;
PS:coordinates = lon lat ;
float
I was looking at the reduced horizontal grid feature because its really a way
to store ragged arrays rather than the somewhat more general compression by
gathering. Its possible that a convention to store ragged arrays might be
quite useful in point observation conventions that ive been trying
