Dear Heinke, if constituent='ozone' is in the data, then how do you deal with a file that has several constituents in it? This is the norm rather than the exception in chemistry modelling. If you suggest constitutent = '[ozone, NO2, CO, ...]'; (or something like this in correct syntax) then I believe it will be impractical to construct this constituent vector. If at all, then I think the constituent name must come along with the variable attributes.
