Wouldn't you also need the profile dimension on the temperature and pressure variables in order to connect them all as part of the same profile collection? Jim Biard Research Scholar Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites Remote Sensing and Applications Division National Climatic Data

yes, good point. if it is a multidimension representation, you would also need the profile dimension. if its a ragged array, you would need either the rowSize or parentIndex variable. On 4/30/2012 7:22 AM, Jim Biard wrote: Wouldn't you also need the profile dimension on the temperature and

Hi all, The CF definitions of discrete sampling geometries define the trajectory feature type as a series of data points along a path through space with monotonically increasing times. This is a stricter stance than the usual CF coordinate definition of ordered monotonically. What was the

Hi John and CF-Metadata list, Based on your earlier advice I decided using the Scalar way to represent the coordinate lat, long and time rather than Vector way i.e lat(lat0, lon(lon), time(time) mainly for reason of simplicity. I have run the Scalar sample through the BADC netCDF checker
