Hi all,
I've been following this thread with great interest. For me it boils down to
this question:
- Is the datum always known by the data provider?
If the answer is yes then I see no reason to omit the datum (and plenty of
reasons to include it).
Hi all,
I am new on this mailing list and I hope my question is not so obvious

recently, I had the same problem you have when reading the various
conventions available. Based upon discussions about this matter, and how
others are using and interpretating the conventions, I personally have
OK, so this is a use case for an unknown (as opposed to a deliberately

Almost certainly, but by a comparatively small number of individuals within

All the more reason to encourage people to encode it in NetCDF files! ;-)

Alain,
Further to my earlier comment, and to address your question regarding
file name suffix, my company makes data available via THREDDS and ERDDAP
neither of which I have found has any problem using files that do not
have a .nc suffix. When editing the metadata for files to be published

Thanks for your comments. The nc suffix was an example, but I found other cases
in the documentation.
I found a lot of differences between the convention and the list of
requirements and recommendations.
My work is to highlight the differences between a netcdf file (bathymetric
