[CF-metadata] vocabulary and standard name constructs in RAMADDA

2013-12-20 Thread Jeff McWhirter
Hi all, I've been adding a number of new ontological constructs to RAMADDA including vocabulary and standard name types. I've imported the CF standard names (there sure are alot) into RAMADDA. Here is a top level search interface: http://ramadda.org/repository/search/type/project_standard_name It

[CF-metadata] Suggested Addition of 'Ocean' to Area Type Table

2013-12-20 Thread Jonathan Gregory
Dear Gary The land/sea classification originated in models, which don't resolve small bodies of water, and "sea" means anything which is not "land" in the area type table. There have been previous discussions about whether we could replace "sea" in standard names with something either more inclusi

[CF-metadata] Suggested Addition of 'Ocean' to Area Type Table

2013-12-20 Thread Gary Meehan
Dear CF board, We have an algorithm for aerosol optical depth which yields statistics over oceans, strictly. The area_type_table does include 'sea' in its list. Is this meant to be strictly synonymous with 'ocean,' or is it more inclusive, e.g., large lakes. If 'sea' is indeed meant to be a ra

Dear Alison, I think I and then Olivier tried to define names for optical quantities along the same suite of European projects, and this several times since for some reasons they were not included in the standard table. It would be nice to conclude on this issue. volume_absorption_coefficient_

Hello Randy, That's good news. I can see no reason for it not to be in 1.7, as it was accepted ~1.5 years ago, but I'm not sure of the mechanisms behind this process ... can someone advise? Many thanks and all the best, David Original message from rho...@excaliburlabs.com (04AM 20 Dec 13)

Dear David: Yes, that will work. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Is this enhancement going to make it into 1.7 ? I took a look at the 1.7 draft, and it is not in there yet. very respectfully, randy From: "David Hassell" Sent: Friday, December 20

Dear Randy, Will the method accepted in ticket 70 (https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/ticket/70) work for you? "The expanded form of the grid_mapping attribute is required if one wants to store coordinate information for more than one coordinate reference system" Something like this, perhaps
