Re: [CF-metadata] Multidimensional variables as discrete sampling geometry data?

Hi Aleksander, I'm understanding that your data have a time and spectral frequency axes. Maybe also lat/lon position of the satellite as a function of time? (i.e. defining a trajectory) With only this to go on it sounds like the simple CDL below might be be a sufficient outline. (You woul

Hi Steven, John: Thanks for mentioning the CF-satellite list. I was told about it just two days ago and have already joined. My data is not of the satellite swath type. It is a time series of calibration correction coefficients for all channels of a satellite instrument. One (time, chan) var

Hi Aleksandar, Satellite datasets have a range of needs that the PointObservationConventions (a.k.a. Discrete Sampling Geometries") don't try to address. It might be worth your while consulting with some of the individuals who are working on applications of CF to satellite obs. I've cc'ed

Dear Jonathan, I am seeking a clarification about the proposed addition to the CF convention for discrete sampling geometries data: https://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/trac/wiki/PointObservationConventions My data would fit the Single timeSeries type except the variables have more than one dimension: va
