Dear Rob,

Good idea. I’m joining you in that way.
Some communities have already applied, or tried to apply, CF conventions to 
swath data. I have in mind CNES/NASA/NOAA/EUMETSAT for satellite altimetry <L2 
products, I believe that was also the case for GHRSST in the SST domain. Do you 
know if there are other best practice that we can consider as references in 
remote sensing swath data?

At the GES DISC, we also have been able to successfully convert HDF-EOS swath 
data from AIRS instrument to a (mostly) CF-compliant netCDF, which can be 
viewed in such tools as IDV and McIDAS-V.  It was a little tricky to get right, 
until we stumbled across the GHRSST folks, who helped us with the last missing 
piece.

So one potential best practice might be to simply have a repository of good 
swath examples in any easy-to-find place.
