Hi Cristina, Looks like my worries were unfounded concerning the meaning of 'count'. From the discussion thread my understanding is that the units you have are OK and that the issue is with the CF checker. Cheers, Roy. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] Sent: 26 February 2011 19:30 To: Lowry, Roy K. Cc: [email protected] Subject: standard_name modifiers -- units problem Dear Roy, Our variable "chlorophyll count" as is understandable by CF is the number of individual measurements used to determine a chlorophyll value. I do need to know what to put at "units" attribute for that variable. I undestood by the CF convention 1.4 (appendix C) that I have to put "units="1" as the chlorophyll count is a dimensionless variable...but the CF checker found it as an error. I try not to put the Unit attribute ...but again i get an error by che cf chcker.......so..... my question is: what unit shoudl I set for my chlorophyll count variable? thanks for your help. cristina ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cristina Tronconi Istituto di Scienze dell'Atmosfera e del Clima - sezione di Roma Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Via Fosso del Cavaliere 100 00133 Roma, Italy Tel: +39 06 49934342 cell: '39 349 1242954 Fax: +39 06 20660291 e-mail: [email protected] This message (and any attachments) is for the recipient only NERC is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and the contents of this email and any reply you make may be disclosed by NERC unless it is exempt from release under the Act.
