dimensional quantities (except for boundary variables defined in Section
7.1, “Cell Boundaries” and climatology variables defined in Section 7.4,
“Climatological Statistics”)."

My first thought is that its not a dimensional quantity. Why do you
think it is?

Egil,
Units of physical quantities are only meaningful for physical quantities
(yes, I know that's a tautology :-). Is the "profile_id" a physical
quantity? I wouldn't think so from its name. If it isn't, then a unit
attribute would be meaningless and possibly misleading.

Dead John and Steve,
Yes, I suppose it is not a dimensional quantity. I am not sure what is
meant by this concept, I just assumed it was a variable with dimensions
(not a scalar). But I suppose it means something that can refer to a
physical property of the four-dimensional space-time.
