Hi, I have a satellite data that stores lat / lon information in 3-D array and I'm wondering how such data can meet the CF convention.
Following the http://cf-pcmdi.llnl.gov/documents/cf-conventions/1.4/ch05s02.html page example convention, here's the description of my data: ------------------------- dimensions: d0 = 447 ; d1 = 3 ; d2 = 360; lev = 18 ; variables: float V(lev,d0,d1,d2) ; T:long_name = "Precipitable Water" ; T:units = "cm" ; T:coordinates = "lon lat" ; float lev(lev) ; lev:long_name = "pressure level" ; lev:units = "hPa" ; float lon(d0,d1,d2) ; lon:long_name = "longitude" ; lon:units = "degrees_east" ; float lat(d0,d1,d2) ; lat:long_name = "latitude" ; lat:units = "degrees_north" ; ----------------------------------------------- My question is, should lat / lon coordinate variables be always 2-D array in CF-convention for two dimensional coordinate system?
