One defines edge and face dimensions, e.g. longitude as X and X_01 and latitude as Y and Y_01, and put the appropriate variables on the appropriate dimension, e.g. temp(X,Y) and u(X_01,Y) and v(X,Y_01).

    Hi,

    What is the best way to store staggered data, ie face/edge
    centered data, in CF? I know cell_methods can be used for cell
    centered data but I don't know of an attribute for representing
    vector fields arising in Arakawa C and D meshes. The vector field
    components are not co-located. Thanks in advance.

    Best,
